Thanks for everyone who voted for me :-)

To answer a few of the questions from the challenge:

- The main silhouette is intended to be the kayaker
- The sun is 100% real; 300mm of zoom makes it look so big
- I probably should have rotated the waterline a bit more
- I'm shooting with an EOS 10D, and noise can definitely
be a problem at times. I suppose I could have tried the
shot at ISO 100.

Sunset looks great; wish the kayak were in a bit sharper focus or otherwise more clearly the subject. Maybe crop a bit more off the right to help?

I like the shot, but the silhouettes are a secondary part of it.
