Cormorant Dawn

Truely magnificent. The silhouettes are very clean and the outlines are very nice. I like the gradual dark tones of the lower portion of the sky too. The small amount of detail of the nest at the foreground is also good. Although I would like to paint a little bit contrast into it selectively since the low contrast there seem a bit unnatural compared to the very high contrast of other parts of the image.  This is created by detail recovery being overdone at this parts I suspect. The saturation should be reduced locally after local contrast increase if my advice is taken. Nevertheless it is wonderful already. Best Regards.

Personally I Like The Original Better. Congrats Ian!

Glamourous!! Congrats!

Ian, I like the way the feathers produce a natural frame around the silhouette of the birds, the tone also supports your composition and the feeling the the birds are comfortable in the nest. All this and no lens flare or anything I could critique, excellent photo all round.

an original, and an artistic image.

i love it!

Great photo! Beautiful sun! And composition too is very good :)
