I snapped this shot at the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News, VA. I'm not a bird expert, but it appears to be a member of the Heron family. Used levels and some contrast/brightness on this shot. By the way, more than one Bird Keeper magazine exists.

What an unusual and clever silhouette. Really very creative. Although the way that the border blends into the perch is clever, I prefer this without a border. 9
Yeah, I like the iconic style here. Strange color to have chosen, but it keeps me interested. I really love the pattern from the net/fence. Nice crop choice. Well done.
Nice image! The rhythmic background combined with the silhouette of the bird is very great. Not only that but you use it as a clever way to fit the magazine's title. This photo is one of my favorites this week.
beautiful! i love the color. the only thing i would have suggested different is to flip the image horizontally...most magazines use text on the left side of the image.
A nice shot. Just a point - I wonder if the title would have been strengthened if the bird had been shot from behind the netting? On reflection, though, even if the meaning is stronger, the image would be weaker, I suppose.
