I think the bird should look down a little ;-) Really, I love this shot. I'm very fond of silhouettes and this is a good one.

I can't see one single thing wrong with this photograph. The composition is wonderful, the use of silhouette is perfect with this light, and of course, the colour of the sky is perfect. I especially like the changing colour from top to bottom. Damn you, Christian! I'll have to start an "I hate Christian" club, too. <vbg> Seriously, a tremendous photo. Truly inspired.
