Too much sun for my taste at the right. I should've cropped it out and then the photo would've been much stronger. Well, that't my humble opinion.
Nice catch though.
I find the strangth of this image in the light at the fringes of the grasses, which somewhat works against the idea of silhouettte I fear. It's a fine shot, however, certainly worthy off placing well in this company; though it perhaps lacks that edge of the very special - some, perhaps compositional, element to contrast the delicate shapes of the grasses, to put them into context.
I don't know if this is a true silhoutte or not the edges are not a crip black solid edge. But i don't care I like it anyways. I wish there were a little moreof the clouds floating high on the top of the photo this would have enhanced it a bit. But I can't say for sure that they wouldn't have drowned out the realy cool plant. One of the bettrer shots of the challenge. Awsom Job!! 8
Nicely done. You have captured a Silhouette and with textured detail as well. I wish the bright light were not in the corner of the image, as it pulls my eye to that corner. This would have been a much better image had the entire image had the illumination found on the left side of the image. <6>
