Photography->Sunset/Rise
At the time I took this shot I thought this was a magpie but as I worked on the photo that profile looks more like some kind of Kestrel or other bird of prey to me. The Australian Kestrel is pretty common in these parts. This is a sunrise not a sunset. I cheated on this one, the original photo was cropped to suit my old screen, I wanted to change the aspect ratio for my new widescreen but didn't want to lose much from top or bottom via a crop, so I used the perspective tool to "stretch" the left side of the photo. If I didn't tell you you wouldn't know. :) Worth playing with, the perspective tool. I hope you enjoy the final result as much as I do.
Mikel.

Cool pic! If you hadn't said anything about "cheating" I never would've guessed.

Mikel, the silhouettes are phenominal. Your skills amaze me time and time again, I can't imagine how you caught the sun as you did without over exposing the whole picture! Well done!

An Amazing capture Mikel!...very sweet!...looks great on my screen too!

Perfect profile of him! This IS a fantastic silhoette! I really like the title too, hee hee! YOU were the Early Bird to catch this one :) The composition is excellent! Very well balanced. Perspective tool??? I wish I had that, I have to clone stamp to do that. Love it Mikel!

Manipulation or not, this really is a nice silhouette against a radiant background.
