Perfect silhouette and composition.

Great silhouette, I love how much of the frame it takes up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Many faces, forms, and bodies to explore here. Something new every time I look. Congrats.

personally I think you over processed this shot...you have lost to many details in the shadows and your colors are pushed to much....

Nice sunset, too much land in silhouette, crop out the left bit to hi-light the tree and person more

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 11:06:16 PM
nice colors ,but the huge mass of silhoutte is too much IMO . You shot from too low a vantage point. 6

Love the silhouettes of the rocks and trees, but the person sitting on the rocks adds the perfect extra touch.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 01:11:07 PM
looks like noise in the sky

Interesting tree and man silhouette, though a bit blurred.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:00:51 AM
The profile of the interesting tree makes this shot even better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:15:58 AM
The person might be missed by some people.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:48:57 PM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:44:59 PM
Cool , I love the tree on the top point.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:38:27 PM
nice framing of the sunset
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:19:56 PM
I like the hidden figure that is watching the sunset, it takes a second to see and surprises you. I am also glad it that you didn't feel the need to point it out in your title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:03:56 PM
Great silhouette, but I wish the camera were tilted slightly upwards to give that tree a bit more headroom... just a teeny bit...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:10:19 PM
Nice. I wish I was that guy. Pretty good overall, I know the exposure conditions are tough, but I would have bought out a little more contrast in the clouds and softened the egde of the rocks where you're starting to get some fringing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:25:29 AM
The sunset watcher is a nice addition to the scene.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:05:13 AM
Dark area to the upper left tends to catch my eye and spoil this shot a little.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:16:29 AM

As he sat there, silhouetted against the falling sun, he found himself dreaming of a world more filled with wonders than the one in which he found himself. Didn't the outcropping he found himself on resemble the face of a great ape, proudly wearing a hat in the shape of a tree? A majestic ape, with a silly side, proudly holding its head up high, enjoying the end of this day.

And didn't the rock opposite it resemble a more alien creature, mouth open and lined with teeth, calling out to the sunset, perhaps at the beginning of a nocturnal hunt, to prowl the lands for food, bringing danger to all that existed there?

And didn't the very rock before him resemble the face of some sad and reflecting creature, with elongated head, and glowing eye. Perhaps it wished for his companionship, someone to converse with and discover the secrets of the universe together, stuck there in that spot for what might seem an eternity.

Such things and more, he could see, and he smiled and the sun collapsed below the horizon, and night slowly fell, and he began to wonder homeward, and the world returned to a more mundane existence.

Yet there was always tomorrow, and there was always more to believe.
