Your score is most likely because most voters don't see this as a silhouette, and are instead expecting little to no detail in the subject. This is, however, an excellent and different perspective of a bird in flight, and the light outlining the wings is quite lovely.

gave you a 7, for creativity and the unusual silhouette.
I have to admit the outtake with the birds on the branches would have scored much better. But WTH I am experimenting a lot myself and bet voted down with some of them. Don't give up and don't be frustrated

Thanks for the comments. I knew it was to out-of-the-box, but it was better than the trolled score. BTW, the owls colors are right on.

I love how the tail is pretty sharp. Gives motion to the wings!
