Taken with a point-and-shoot (Canon S50, is this cheating?). Cropped to give a 2:3 ratio.
Didn't bring my camera, and naturally, didn't intend to take a shot for dpchallenge submission. Had to borrow a friend's point-and-shoot, but I wouldn't have achieved the right exposure with a dSLR anyways.

I like this. The description specifically said no silhouettes though, so although it's a beautiful image, it sort of doesn't really follow the rules. The sun seems awfully blown out and almost hurts the eyes. What if you cropped out the sun and just had the beautiful glow on the shore?
Now, I do like the texture of the water on the sand - making striations of light and shadow. I like the placement of the figure.
very nice shot...is it true to the topic? hmmm? not sure it's in the spirit of a backlight shot, but wonderful composition and great colours...God makes nice things!
