you could indicate that your "guy" is a blue heron;
I like the composition and lighting; nice sunset colors; now, bring the horizon at the top or bottom: you see?
your horizon is tilted to the left: easy to fix it;

Got it! Thanks!

The lighting of this capture is intriguing. Although, the bird is almost an silhouette, the light of the sinking sun illuminates its chest. The bird stands nicely out from the sky in the background. The photo is well focused and exposed sand has good depth. Colors and light are realistic. The seascape is well composed and framed.

A very nice shot. The light is beautiful and the unmistakable form of the egret is beautiful. A well composed image with great details and beautiful colors.

This is a dramatic photo. I love that you caught this heron at sunset, and he stands in silhouette. The beautiful sky is eye-catching and with much contrast. The lighting in this work is your winning attribute! Well done!

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us a good view of your bird(heron?) and its nice location. The sunset colours are enjoyable. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

An interesting picture of the silhouetted Heron/ Crane on the rooftop of the building on one of the Docks in Fort Desoto Park in Florida, as the Sun is slipping beneath the horizon colouring the sky in gold fading into the still blue sky above. The Heron on the rooftop & the roof itself both have a halo of gold . Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp.
Good luck in the contest.
Susan
