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! :)

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 says:

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

bio milch says:

I think this is a very good silhouette shot. However the defenders is a more striking composition and therefore gets my vote
