Cranes at sunset in harbour. This is a bit off my usual pictures and I would be grateful for comments.
I have adjusted the levels to try and get a very dark silhouette and rely on the detail in the metal work. I think there is some fringing around the fine detail but I am not sure how to lessen it - when I tried it soften the outlines.
The composition is off the third line but I like the balance between the two cranes and the bird.

Re: silhouette
It's not the most exciting of images, but you've certainly achieved what you set out to do. The position of the bird is a nice touch and lifts the image up a notch. As you say, it adds balance.
Thanks for posting.

Re: silhouette
It needs the bird, it shows how the smallest of details can lift an image. A more dramatic sunset would clinch this one for me, but the choices made with the silhouette seem spot on.
Best regards
