Very pretty. Love the silhouette. The simplicity makes this beautiful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very cool shot. I would have liked it better if the roman numerals were level with each other. The “V” looks slightly tilted to the left.

Very strongly on-challenge. If I was looking for an image to caption the DPC 6 years, this would be it.
