This shot is a combination of planning and luck. I knew about what I wanted and was looking for a location where I would get my riding partners against the setting sun with those long shadows behind them. I sprinted up a few feet behind them and held the camera down in front of my foot, then fired away. Usually this method gets a natural dramatic tilt and this one was perfect in that regard with no extra tilt needed. I lucked out with the focus being where I needed it. The sunburst poking through the bike frame was just good fortune.
Probably worth a mid to high 5 here, based on previous experience with a similar shot:
