Cool Vignette Silhouette

I know this is a bit odd for me, but let me explain...

 

I had packed up and was heading toward the car. It had been a rather boring sunset, which was now over, and only the last glimmers of light were left on the horizon. A White-faced Heron suddenly landed on a dead tree right in front of me. I so wished it was still light out, instead of almost night - this would have been a great portrait shot. Instead, I went for the silhouette, and snapped a few before he took off.

 

I processed in RAW, cooled it a bit, and added 'vegnetting', just for the effect, bumped the contrast and a couple other things, and ended up with this. I thought I'd share it, just for fun.
