Good lighting, about time I saw a bird shot where the photographer was sneaky enough to sneak UNDER the bird.

Excellent silhouette. Only by the title can I tell that the bird is the subject, though.

I like it, especially the silhouette against the moon.

Wonderful picture, love the mood it sets. But too busy to be condsidered minimalism as I read the rules.

Perhaps this one would be better desaturated? Nice comp though, 4
 04/28/2005 01:46:13 PM
this is fantastic.
 04/28/2005 12:32:36 PM
love the color and the siloettes but the tree distracts a little much
 04/28/2005 10:27:58 AM
Great photo - I love the silhouette effect, but for me it would have been a bit better if the moon was a bit away from the bird, either to the left of it or in the top right corner.

I like this. I like the blue tone, and the perfect placement of the bird against the moon.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 01:57:48 PM
Cool image, but I think the bird and the moon are too close together.
 04/27/2005 01:30:58 PM
I like the silhouette, and I think it's a pretty good photo. It just doesn't fit the challenge description to me. The foreground is so overwhelming that, even though the bird is the subject, the shrub/tree just sort of takes over the photo. Also wish th emoon were in a little sharper focus.
 04/27/2005 10:57:38 AM
Good picture, the moon could be a little sharper.
 04/27/2005 10:40:30 AM
This is pretty. It would have been good in the night challenge also.

quite the beautiful shot....well done
 04/27/2005 12:46:15 AM
Beautiful photo. I love the composition (bird seems to be perfectly aligned in the rule of thirds grid) and the lighting where the leaves aren't lit at all and the bird is barely lit. Only thing I would have tried to do is create just a little bit more separation between the bird and moon, but I bet this photo was pretty hard to get as it is.
