Strong image.

Great shot, the strenght of the silhouette and the reds and oranges from the sunset compliment each other nicely.
03/17/2009 10:58:26 AM
Nice silhouette, good colours. I'd prefer it to be a bit sharper.
03/17/2009 03:59:26 AM
Looks a bit as if it's a showoff pic. Doesn't really move me.
03/17/2009 01:20:53 AM
Awesome Army shot! Great composition.
03/17/2009 12:00:58 AM
Silhouette works nicely; good composition with sun and model to balance out the photo.
03/16/2009 09:53:19 PM

03/16/2009 11:35:56 AM

Nice sunset but the silhouette is a little corny
03/14/2009 10:06:39 PM

He is definitely in better shape than myself..lol
03/14/2009 05:53:31 AM

03/14/2009 05:33:03 AM
I don't think he can beat the sun and the sea, but is a nice silhouette and the colors are wonderful.
03/14/2009 03:21:49 AM
Good use of the silhouette
03/14/2009 12:56:54 AM

03/13/2009 07:06:15 PM
fun image, just wish it was a little sharper around his arms
03/13/2009 06:50:30 PM
Nice colors in the sunset, though I would prefer if there was stronger focus on the silhouette.

For the first few moments on this new world, he stumbled about, confused and disoriented, and weak. However, by some deep instinct within, he managed to find his way out of the dense junglescape he had found himself in, and discovered a wide open beach and stood staring at the sea. Not that he had names for these things, for he was a stranger here, and for the moment was merely trying to make sense of things, and survive.

He stumbled to the edge of the water, and suddenly noticed that he was getting stronger by the second. He could feel the heat flowing from the bright and powerful circle in the sky, which we call the sun. A heat that flooded into him, a heat that his body soaked up like a sponge. As it did, he stood up straighter. As it did he felt energy pulse within him. As he did he felt and saw his body changing, molding, building.

Not long after, he raised is arms to the sky, and flexed his arms and knew that he was no more powerful than he had ever dreamed he could become, and it was because of this strange new alien star. He shouted in triumph, and raced down the beach, towards a tale to be told another time.

I would like to see this shot whithout the black space at the bottom. The silhouette is cool with this beautiful sunset. I don't know if i'm wrong, but the silhouette looks a little oof too...maybe it's just a impression, but i'll take another look at other monitors. nice shot.
03/13/2009 03:12:48 PM
Nice composition, great colors.
03/13/2009 03:04:46 PM
the red flare on his arm detracts from the silhouette IMO
03/13/2009 10:32:58 AM
your silhouette is just a little soft
03/13/2009 03:03:49 AM
Nice silouette
03/13/2009 01:57:05 AM
Nice silhouette and sunset. Good framing with the guy looking into the picture and sunset.
03/12/2009 08:54:01 PM
Funny.
03/12/2009 02:54:06 PM
Cue the music!
03/12/2009 02:51:07 PM
i think the composition would work better horizontally, nice colors
03/12/2009 12:45:18 PM
out of focus - nice tone
03/12/2009 11:38:34 AM
nice silohette and sunset, also like the title
03/11/2009 08:52:24 PM
Nice color and silhouette.
03/11/2009 07:43:34 PM
I like the reflection on the water.
03/11/2009 09:27:02 AM
The composition is nice but not enough focus on the man.
03/11/2009 01:00:53 AM
good colors - focus is a bit too soft on the silhouette in my eye.
