Shot in RAW with my long lens which isn't very clear so I had to take a silhouette shot. I like the way this came out, and hopefully won't get dinged for having his head cut off.

I agree with everyone about the head, but it was the best of the bunch. I tried lightening the border so it wasn't black on black.

I love silhouettes. Timing and location have to be perfect. This is quite nice, the sun, the rays on the water, the fowl in the distance but I have to comment on the fisherman's head being intersected by the water, rivers edge. It's sometimes small attention to detail that makes an NG image stand out. Overall the exposure is good and the composition close to excellent, if only you had gotten a tad higher before shooting.

This is beautiful. The colours are unreal and sharpness exquisite.

A nice scene. I like the silhouette. However, his head blends into the background.

I really like this, it's simple and clean you did an excellent job of not blowing out the shooing into the sun, the colors are very nice and it makes me want to go fishing!
