Re: PESO: Hermit Silhouette
I like the saturated silhouette much better. Next thing I would try is to brighten the background and reduce contrast within it or desaturate or whatever to go a bit more high key.

Nice scene - not an eagle, but very nice anyway. On my main monitor I can see detail - not anywhere near jet black. On my secondary monitor it is a little darker but some detail can still be seen.

Re: PESO: Hermit Silhouette
Thanks much, Paul. Since he was riding the center of the reed patch, I felt the most comfortable placing it as is. Had the critter been right or left, I'd have placed the reed patch in the same position and have been fine to have him out of the middle, so long as he was looking toward the center. The form and length of this reed patch had to be centered..for me to relish my vittles. I do appreciate the suggestion! :-) Jack --- On Wed, 2/17/10, P N Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: From: P N Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net Subject: Re: PESO: Hermit Silhouette To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Date: Wednesday, February 17, 2010, 2:10 PM Looks good on my monitor.

Looks like a black-crowned night heron to me. No North American egret has the dark eye stripe or the head plumes.

Re: PESO: Hermit Silhouette
Actually I've found it in my Field Guide to North American Birds to be a Grey Blue Heron. I dodged it, at someones suggestion, and discovered the markings. My renderings were all silhouettes. Thanks for commenting!
