I'm curious to see how popular this was with the voters, but I quite like the high-contrast effect you went with here.

Good wave action in the background. This photo shows the birds habitat well. But it's overexposed and we can't see the detail of the birds. If you had made it a true silhouette that may have improved it.

Tough lighting conditions for this shot. I do like the silhouettes, but there are some blown areas, wether they are intentional or not I'm not sure.

Contrast is too high for me. And the focus across the plain of the birds seems a bit soft. The ocean line is totally blown out.

Wonderful high key/high contrast/whatever it is. Love the light hitting the sides of the birds. To me, has a Mediterranean vacation feel to it, and I've never even been to the Mediterranean.

Cool artsy shot. Works well against the onslaught of bird portrait entries.

I do like this shot, but my first reaction was that it hurt my eyes.
