Your use of sillhouette successfully flattens the depth here so it matches the title nicely. Fun work!

Beautiful sky! This shot works really well for several reasons:
1. The car
2. The person on the bike
The person on the bike really adds to the effect of size, the car also serves this smae purpose. I do feel, however, that the crop is a little too tight on the left. Personally, I would have liked to see a little more space by the biker, preferably the same as the right side, this would help balance the shot. Otherwise this is a nicely done shot and should do well. Good luck!

Hi greetings from the CC, well this is a good example of a (no offense) boring subject, but with a good composition and good lighting you have made it a pleasing shot. The choice of the black underneath contrasting the bright colors was an excellent choice. Sharpness is very good. My only slight critique would be if you placed the red wheel off center a little more to the right, but it is not completely centered. Your shot IMO shows a mastery of technical aspects of photography, esp demonstrated in a challenge with a dull topic IMO, well done!
happy shooting!

Very nice silhouette. I love the color of the sky. Everything really looks sharply etched against the background.

nice natural color sky, without al the UNatural oversaturated colors you see in other sky / silhouette images ( I know how tempting it is to do). Just my opinion but, the tree on the left has MUCH more visual appeal than anything in this image. I would have focused my attention (no pun) on that alone in the image against the sky. Anyway, nice capture

Very graphic image with nice colors. The bicylist is a bit close to the left side and I'd like to see a bit more space between the SUV and the tree behind it.

Not sure wether the biker on the left adds anything. Or even the car. Just those two old trees would also have been strong. Great colors.
