| I thought this was a great entry - I was one of your 7's. I love owls and his silhouette is striking. I had no trouble figuring out what it is, but then again I photograph owls a lot so may be more familiar with their shape than most. Maybe it could be a little better compositionally if there wasn't so much space between the shrub and the owl, but I doubt you could exactly ask him to move a little to the left :-) |

I think the silhouette needs to be a really crystal clear line - no vignette at all, for a silhouette to be completely effective. I think with the owl on one side and the bush on the other, despite what could be balance, it almost loses the impact of both. I would crop out the bush all together. Not have the owl centered, but make sure that the focus is tack sharp so that the line created by the shadow against the background gives no margin for error. Hope this helps!!!

| Very good color (and a color set popular here at DPC). A pretty good composition, with nice negative space at the top and a pretty well balanced bottom third. I think part of what hurt you was the confusion as to what the critter was. For DPC-simple, yes, crop the shrub. In Deb's book of Mediocre Photography, keep the shrub - adds balance, context and scale. |

Re: post mortem feedback request:
Lovely fade on the sunset to dark blue sky. I think if the subject could have been positioned a touch higher and the shrub cropped, it might have more impact. |

| Neat! Last time I tried this shot I failed miserably in comical fashion. This is about how I envisioned it however. Well done! |
