Great silhouette shot. I don't know how this would look with a colorful sky.

Nice silhouette. Works well in black and white.

I love it - the only thing I wish you could have done differently was put more of the horse in the frame and move the man over to the side a little bit. Cropping as a square just to the right of his shoulder would have also looked sweet.

I'm a sucker for a good silhouette, and this one is good. Not *great*, as it suffers from a little too much distraction in the sky (causing the horse to float into darkness too quickly in areas), but the composition is fantastic, and it has a very nice energy and companionship with the subjects.

I really like this concept...and i never seem to get cool skies like this when i need them. just to be picky, i'd like to have seen the cowboy's profile.

Love this dark moody composition. The clouds are dark and somber which creates a mood of foreboding or darkness to come. But light seems to act as a halo that gathers around the silhouette of the cowboy and to a lesser degree the horse. That gathering of light invokes the idea that out from the plains comes a 'knight in shining armor' (or in a cowboy's case - a knight in leather & denim )to fight the darkness/evil. Ironically we think of the man dressed in black as evil while the one in white is the hero. Here in your composition the dark horse and rider through that ideal out the door because of the way you composed your shot to have the light gather around them acting as angelic halos. Love the silhouettes of the horse and rider. The pose of the horse seems to me as one that is scanning the horizon for danger while the rider turns to his faithful friend to inquire as to what irks him/her. The pose and ease of the cowboy's stance next to the horse speaks to me of a strong comradeship. Strong composition, strong mood and dynamic tones; 9
