Nice silhouette and sun beams. The sun beams are what first drew me to the photo. Ideally, I’d rather have the bird a bit to the right, but then you’d have lost some of the nice rays.
Nicely done Lyle. A striking image with the light beams providing an intriguing backdrop. I like the composition overal with the water as a lower border and darker clouds up top. Having the bird further to the right would have been nice but this is still quite a pleasing image.
Hello, Lyle, and a very pleasing image indeed. The sun rays add quite something to the image, and the color scheme is wonderful. Yes, the bird a bit to the right would have been the hammer, but I can appreciate your choice because of the wing position. All in all a very nice image. Cheers, Hans
