meeting the challenge 1/5, technique/composition: 4/5, for a total score of 5. I rather like the silhouette effects, and the lens and solarflares are quite nice. Unfortunately, without the caption, this one doesn't scream 'waiting' to me, although I understand it.
"don't shoot into the sun"
Just as well you didn't listen to that! I like this shot (a lot) and the history in the title adds that little bit more to the image. I love it (9)
