Congratulations on your first blue ribbon. I didn't have time for more than a quick skim through the entries in this challenge and commented only a handful that stood out. I managed to miss this gem which is certainly my loss as it's a striking image.Great silhoutte, great colour and great composition!

Comments Made During the Challenge

Nicely rendered. The idea of having a sillouette for this challenge was one of my ideas as well. Your image came out much better :)
Post actions
Great golden hues and superb reflections. Like the composition as well. I do not know your feeling about the lines in the upper third of the image. I sort of wish they were not there, but knowing that there was no way to lose them, legally, and there are faint enough, I let them go. 10. .....still my favorite. Hope you ribbon.
Post actions
Superb color and right on target for the topic

with the shadow in the water there is an piece that is there and not on the bird itself. up on the right hand side near the middle you had eddited something out of the pix the reason is it is not the same color and the cloud would not have a stright edge. on the bottom of the pix it looks like there was some kind of signature in the right hand corner and the left hand as well. would look better if all of that was not wrong with the pix.
Post actions
Such a nice contrast! Very well done.
Post actions
I really like what you've done here. It's fantastic!!
Post actions
Excellent photo. Top 10 I'm sure.
Post actions
Absolutely gorgous! Nicely done!!
Post actions
Post actions
Great color, reflection and silhouette. 10
Post actions
why is there something on the tail feathers on the reflection and not on the real bird.
Post actions
Amazing color and nice shadow with reflection.
Post actions
Superb capture here..one of my favourites
Post actions
beautiful composition and color - i don't care if it si real or not

Nicely done 10 (i konw you would have cloned a little if there was advanced editing)
Post actions

Post actions
top 10! fabulous shot ,fab composition fab color. could be a bit sharper
Post actions
Totally outstanding
Post actions
Really nice. Nice use of color. Bumping up.
Post actions
A 9 from me, because it has so many appealing elements within the frame of minimalism. Almost Oriental in tranquil beauty.
Post actions
This one is my pick for the blue. Good luck in the challenge!
Post actions
lovely pic. not sure about the colour of the water - just a bit too strong for me
Post actions
I like the sil·houette with the color of the background. The slight difference in shadow of the yellow is appealing too.
Post actions
Wow - amazing capture for this challenge. I love the silhouette and rich golden tones. Very nicely done!
Post actions
Good interpretation, love the warm tones.
Post actions
I really like this... it is very visually interesting, with the gold color as a backdrop to the silhouetted bird.
Post actions
Wow, amazing photo. .. The colors, the reflection... I don't know what to comment on, it's great how it is.
Post actions
ooh, gorgeous. curious to know if this is the natural color or if you adjusted it. 10

Post actions
This is just an excellent shot.. a big 10
Post actions
This is a gorgeous shot. I love the color on the water. Beautiful details.
Post actions
This is really awesome...but, a bit oversaturated...the lines in the background give the overall image a more realistic feel... the interference on the reflection at the birds tail is distracting in a minor way.... yet, gj overall
Post actions
One of my favorites to win this challenge. Stunning.
Post actions
stunning......definately one of my top 10
Post actions
Very nice shot. One of the best in the challenge.

Beautiful sillohette (sp??) Definitely a minimalism capture! 9
Post actions
Excellent photograph and perfect exposure. The reflected color is brilliantly captured.
Post actions
Very nice image. Well done.
Post actions
Very nice image, I can't see anything that should be done differently, maybe placing the bird a bit higher in the frame, or not... This should score high.
Post actions
Brilliant colors and great composition. This is one of my favorites so far.
Post actions
i like it alot, but i would crop it in a square. very nice warm golden colors and a beautiful capture of the bird. (9)
Post actions
Post actions
Very vibrant sunset colors and silhouette of heron..I like the reflection also..lovely striking image..9
Post actions
One of my top 3. The reflection is very nice and I love it. Very excellent 10
Post actions
A winning image. Often people seek such monochromatic color play to satisfy interior decorators. Very attractive and very well composed. Bumping up.
Post actions
Very pretty! I like the color. Very easy on the eyes. Meets the challenge well. 10
Post actions
Wonderful color and contrast. Simple and elegant, nicely framed. 9
Post actions
very good - i would pull back on the sharpening just a bit
Post actions
Just love the colors in the photo. Very nicely done and I wouldn't change a thing. Gave it a 10.
Post actions
Honestly, I think the orange could be toned down just a little bit. But, I think this is the best of what I have seen in the challenge so I am bumping this to a 10. The simplicity works and I think it captures the spirit of the challenge. Good luck!
Post actions
beautiful light. really like this one.
Post actions
Simple but beautiful sunset and silhouette photo. Brilliant! 10
Post actions
I want to hate this one for the extremely garish, manipulated orange, but I keep coming back to it with a smile. Good job.

Oh no, a great bird picture. After the open challenge I swore I wasn't going to vote another bird picture high. I guess I'll have to make an exception for this one. 10 and a fav.

Very well done!! Love the color.

Excellent subject and would really have benefited from advanced editng rules to clean it up. You may have a little gif attached to this at the end.
Post actions
Okay... this one's gotta get a ribbon! Beautiful. Perfection!
Post actions
Awesome shot, though still not a 10 from me but a 9 easily, nothing really that I can say more than that but good job and hope you do well in the challenge.
Post actions
Great composition and lovely orange - it makes the image stand out. Love the almost perfect simmetry caused by reflection. One of my favourites. 10
Post actions
Post actions
overall really nice...seems a bit over-saturated and the little itsy bitsy things in the foreground distracting 6
Post actions
Wow, nothing I can add to this, its already perfect.
Post actions
Post actions
This is one of the best, lovely colouring, just enough background detail to provide depth and interest and an arresting subject and reflection, perfectly positioned in the composition. Nice to catch the leg bent too, creates movement. Must ribbon. . .
Post actions
i like the warmth in this, well done 9 :o)
Post actions
Lovely shot, lots of space, great silhouette.
Post actions
yep...i like it..photography is good...colors are great...10
