This is interesting. It may be just good cropping, but I think that this image is incredibly well composed. The subject is perfectly centered while the over all composition follows the rule of thirds. Bravo.

Nice shot. This must have been kind of difficult to take into the sun like that.

This is my second go-around =) - Very nice! The color is a little muddy, but may be my monitor. I really like it a lot! Great job!

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.
