This is very very nicely done. I love the sharpness of the silhouette and the interesting background.

What rich textures and pattern exist in caves. Nice capture. Bump.

Lovely background but for me the sillhouette doesnt add a great deal to the overall image. good luck

What should be your subject - the person's silhouette - is in this case very secondary due to the grandeur of Mother Nature's fascinating display. Nice colors.

Howe Caverns maybe...? Nice light. Good Silhouette, <6>

Looks a little blurred to me, possibly camera shake? Great idea, though.

To me the main element of this is the rock and not the silhouetted person

This is a nice shot, but your subject gets lost in other shadows within the frame.

This reminds me a lot of Carlsbad Caverns? I doubt if anyone else will have an identical photo, well done.

I like the background very much, unfortunately, it has so much contrast that it takes your attention away from the silhouette.
