Some more goodness in all of these Jeff!
And yes! This silhouette works great! You nailed nice details in a side profile so there is no mistaking who this guy is and the perch (tree) works perfectly for this graphics style shot.
My small nit on this one would be the shiny feathers on his back. That area looks out of place with the pure B&W silhouette to me. Small nit though. Maybe a #3 on the nit scale.

Thanks for the picks and comments, Dave!
So you'll notice that a common theme in the bird silhouette pics (aside from bird silhouettes) is that nearly all of them are on dead leadwood trees. In addition to making excellent perches, the leadwoods also just look freaking cool. And when you process them like this the branches and trunks really take on this inky quality that I love. One aspect that I know you'll hate (already have!) with some is that they won't be *true* silhouettes and will sometimes have a little highlight showing through. Creative gamble for me, but to me it gives the ink strokes pressure vs. being completely consistent in coverage.
