I came back to see how this had done and just had to say something about the "silhouette" comments. On my monitor, it is not a silhouette. I think some people may need to adjust their monitors. If you can't see the full range on the bar at the bottom of the screen when voting (and a distinct line between each shade) then you need to make some adjustments.
An excellent scenic. Althought not a total silhouette - it does come close to losing all detail in many areas. The rock (?) in the bottom left corner is a bit awkward.
Very nice picture. Subject is fine. Comp is fine. Focus, DOF, colors and levels are fine. But on my monitor, all I see of the subject is silhouette -- therefore doesn't meet challenge.
Beautiful picture but ... the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting. My 5 would be much higher if it had not been a silhouette. It is a great shot.
