The elements came together nicely for this shot. You will have a tough time topping this one. What a grand start.

Congratulations! Super photo! A graduated filter in your kit would have gone a ways towards taming the sun for you.

Congrats on a great shot for this challenge. Next time using spot metering on the sun might bring you better results with the blown out highlights etc. You mentioned it in your description so I thought I'd offer that advice. Well done.

Edit:

I just noticed this was your first challenge, and you got the blue. That's awesome. The red went to a first challenge submission as well. What are the odds of that!
