Fantastic silhouette. The sheen on the water behind the photographer highlights him very well.

wow, look at the colour. It is really exquisite.

I like your composition and subject placement but the colors are way too saturated for me; I'd prefer a bit more natural looking photo.

I think if Mehdi was a little small in comparison to the background, then it could be better. But it has a good colors.
Actually, you should thank Mehdi for his camera and big lens! :)

This photo is challenging Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens from the pool of Highly Competitive - Flickr's 100 Best - www.flickr.com/groups/best100only/. Vote me in!

thanks for the challenge my friend, good luck to us both! ;-)
Mr. Gee (76 months ago | reply)
Beautiful capture. I love the subject - nothing's better than a picture of picture taker. The silhouette of the flower hood adds that little extra bit of detail to earn this shot a Fave. Well done!

cutter3 [deleted] (76 months ago | reply)
While both are silhouettes, that is in my eye where the similarity ends. I think the converging lines the defender used, ending at the figure at the end of the tunnel, is a creative use surroundings. The figure is not the subject, but a necessary focus point as your eyes are drawn to the end of the tunnel. The silhouette of the figure against the sunset, seems, to me, to be a grab shot. Nice but not extremely creative when compared to the defender. Sorry challenger

Arizona Magic (76 months ago | reply)
I think that cutter3 hit the nail! Sorry, I believe the other image is far superior.

This is a great shot and I love the lighting, but the defenders composition is very unique and hard to beat.

I abstain from voting in the highly competive 100 challenge. I faved both images... So, I call this a tie for my vote.
bio milch (76 months ago | reply)
I think this is a very good silhouette shot. However the defenders is a more striking composition and therefore gets my vote
