My favorite of the batch. Sparkling water, interesting pier, tonal variations of the progressively more distant hills all work well together. Makes me want to be there.

Moody light goes well with the lizard's expression.

Really well-seen abstract. Love the swath of red tempered by the irregular water drops.

Loving the bright needles against the dark background. You might enjoy a post by Tony Kuyper about thornscapes (blog post with pics).

May not have had the sparkles of traditional contre-joure, but does show the form of a subject illuminated by light that is behind the subject. I suppose I would classify this as a silhouette (solid, dark image of a subject against a brighter background) rather than a shadow (area of reduced light on a typically flat surface caused by an object blocking the light). Definitions aside, it was fun to capture this image.
