		| | The light in the sky is really interesting. Very atmospheric and moody, with those silhouettes. The photo itself has a bit of noise (ironic?). Using Neatimage could sort it out. |

		| | It is a bit too noisey.  Perhaps because you only used 45 kb of the 150 kb file size allowed.  That and Neat Image would help! |

		| | Overall I really like the picture, the strong contrasts are attractive to the eye, too bad you could not have catptured a sunset, or clearer skies. Good job =)

		| | The title fits well :-/ I guess you've tried to brighten up what were very dark hills? Kudos for trying rather than just presenting a silhouette.
 It's a good idea, and very difficult to pull off. The composition is good, but the noise & blown out sky take away from it. Good try.

		| | Looks like a painting.  Nice sky.  Like the silhouette.  Highlight of this pic for me is the subject and his placement, which is excellent.  Nice photo - Inspzil |

		| | Difficult to focus on anything here.  Perhaps a `fill flash` would have helped to bring something out in the forground to bring the eye forward.  The sky is a bit overexposed.  I like the idea you had here of the subject being alone. |

		| | It is a bit noisy  :o)  I think you have a nice opportunity here. The figure should be isolated more (it looks like there is maybe another person beyond the first). Maybe using a little lower perspective wouldn't cut the person in half and would help them stand out more (placing them against the sky). The sky also seems a little overexposed. Would it have been possible to expose it a little less? There seems to still be some detail in the person (not yet a true silhouette) so maybe you could have captured more color in the sky. |

		| | it is too noisey, i agree.  i wonder why you submitted it.  if you like the noise, then why the title.  anyway.  i like the composition with the person standing there gazing at the sky.  the sky however is too blown out, and the foreground a little too dark for my preference.  not knowing what camera and settings you used, and assuming that this is early morning or evening, i'm not sure what to suggest.  i hear neatimage does wonders for noise (haven't tried it out yet myself).  if you have a tripod, could you have tried to take the photo at a lower ISO setting with longer exposure?  bracketing your shot may also give you a choice of different exposures to choose from.  of course you may have already done that. |

		| | Great idea but it looks like a bit too much contrast or sharpening on editing. Cub |

		| | Interesting.  I like the bright/dark contrast. |

		| | But the composition is pretty good. I like the human element, it creates depth and scale. |

		| | if it is too noisy, then use neat image to correct it. jgillard5 |
