First thing that came into my mind, as i saw the challenge, was the beach next to my house, with all those people sitting lazy under the sun. Piece of cake, i thought. As the sun goes down all those people will turn into silhouettes.
So i went down there, right the same afternoon and got some shots. Total failure. When i got back i saw there was not even one picture with a clear silhouette. Never thought it would be so hard to find a scene where silhouettes will be separated one from the other. Kept this in mind and the next day i went there again and took a lot of photos. During shooting i had a hard time trying to avoid flare, because i don't have lenshood for this camera.
Any way, i think this one is the one with the most clear silhouettes and no flair :-)
Hope you like it.

| Excellent story being told here. I like the composition, I also like being able to see the detail in the background. Nice shot. |

| Nice photograph. I might have toned down the bright spot on the leg and water and the blueness of the sky but other than that the photograph has some nice visual interest. |

| A nice shot that captures the harsh brightness of the day. I wish you'd caught a bit less sun and more of the backlit water. |

| this is fun. i like that everything is in silhouette, not just your subject and the sun as his backlight is very nice. i really like the heavy set fellow who seems to be looking this way. good DOF. you can see other land masses and mountains in the back in hazy layers. great, 10. |

| Fun picture! This photo really conveys the lazy hot days of summer holidays spent on the shore! I like the way the water catches the light. Although it's not absolutely centred I think it's still somewhat too centred in composition and would love to see a similar shot with the shower and foreground subject to one side of the frame. |

wow, that's very bright! Are those mountains in the background?
I like the action in the image, the water from the shower is cool. The background isn't very distracting and the placeement in the frame is pretty good for this particular image |

| A tighter crop on the subject would have made it more dramatic |

| He almost appears to be dancine. Cute. The horizon seems to be tilted to the right though, but that's an easy fix. I wish he weren't quite so centered. |
