A great capture! I disagree with teafran. The light to dark layers of mountain behind the silhouetted HMH-361 are so very perfect. The score is very underrated, imho.

Challenge met well in this shot. The silhouetted shape matches the title aptly.

Untouchable, yeah, if this is the tranformer "Blackout".... Oooo, hey, Perhaps Blackout would have been a more appropriate title, considering the need for darkness and all, lol. I mean it's a decepticon 'nough said.

Suggestion: adjust the levels so the darkness below is more apparent and inverse the selection of the hellicopter to change the color of the background to something cooler, but I'm just being picky.
Nice photo.

There is a very good image here that the author missed by an unfortunate crop. The over white top of the image negatively impacts this image - if that had been cropped out bringing the image in a little tighter, it would have made a much better presentation. The chopper is a little darker than it should be, but with the crop, it would work much better.
