yes, that's a great explanation of why I like this photo.

good silhouettes and a great backdrop.

Your people look like paper cutouts and their outlines are oddly-shaped, particularly the smaller girl's hands and feet. It looks like your people weren't back-lit to begin with, but you individually selected them and darkened them down to turn them black. It's impossible to turn something that wasn't already back-lit into a silhouette without making it look artificial because there's no reason for them to be so dark.

Nicely seen and shot. I like the moment that you have captured here. A paneled crop removing the upper 40% and lower 20% may have more impact. The border subracts from the image rather than adds to it.

#3, tied with another.
Simple. That's about as much as I can describe this photo. It's effective because you get the feeling of the kids just wanting to enjoy the ocean (or sea, or lake) and nothing more.
