once again i agree with the critique .. the colours are amazing, beautiful and so rich .. i love the silhouette .. capturing the bird like that in that light was a brilliant capture .. that sky is amazing .. :)
Welcome to DPC. I see you're new to this site, and I hope you are enjoying the competition.
You have a lovely sunset image here and you treated the colors with care. It was a great capture of the bird, and you show it off nicely. I do have something of a problem with your shoreline. It looks a bit tilted, and when water looks tilted, one wonders if it is going to flow out of the picture. (joking) In any event, you have just reason to be pleased with that bird and its surroundings.
Wish I was where ever this photo was taken! Awesome colours captured in the sunset. I like the approach you took to the symmetry challenge - not typical.
