Flight...

Please critique. Thank you!

Great colors, and nice job positioning that bird. Two things bother me about this image: I'd like a steeper slope in silhouette at the left, and I'd prefer the clouds in the lower right to be closer to horizontal. I'll attach a rotated version that required a little "cloning" to fill in the upper right and lower left corners.

One bit of unsolicited advice: It would be better to upload slightly smaller versions of your photos so that Photo.net doesn't have to resize them. The resizing has caused some "noise" in this photo that isn't there in the larger version, but a lot of people who rate photos probably don't bother to check the larger versions.
