    What about making blue lines a little bit lighter? cause they kinda battle with a bird for the main attention point. Just imho. Composition looks awesome though. Is it shadows of the tree on some weird surface and bird flying closest to u or what?

    I agree. A little desaturation on the blues would bring out the bird more! thumb.gif

    Great catch, Azzaro!

    Howdy Gary,

    Really like this one and the leading blue lines through the shadows, leading
    to the main subject.

    I like it the way you've presented it to us, very nicely done.
    Take care,

    I'd leave the blue lines just as they are. I don't think it matters if the blue lines or the bird is the subject in this photo. Either one will grab in a person to take a look at it.

    Wonderful work on this one thumb.gifthumbthumb.gif

    The shadow is of a tree on the side of a truck. The bird needs light on it to make it stand out,,,,,,, I tried to find some detail in him but it wasn't there..

    Thanks for looking and commenting.......azzaro
