really like the sky color.

Great example of how beautiful an image in silhouette can be, like the BG color in this..
Centered comp works fine here IMO.

Thank you, Rick and Howard.

I like that, just wondering, why did you frame the bird in the middle, instead of the 1/3 rule? I like it just wondering why you did.

More aesthetics than anything. It just seemed to work better than other crops that I tried, some of which were ROT crops.

Ok, I do the same from time to time and it never fails someone will say "remember the rule of thirds" LOL. I do what feels good to me also.

I put my hand on the left side and I think it would have looked alright cropped off.
I'm not really suggesting...Just thinking and speaking my mind. It really is a nice silhouette.

The image isn't really about the hawk but rather about the scene, the feel of a winter day ending and a night beginning. It's one of those in which every element is part of the story as it were: the bare branches, the sunset, the lone hawk. That's why I chose to break the "rules." :-)

I agree with you on that too! Yep yep!

Love the shot John! I love the colors! B&W I think would kill some of the imagery....IMO.
