Alright.. it´s finally time to write a little bit about this one! So after spending a week in the jungle of north-east Honduras, I return to find out that I placed 5th in the Free Study! AWESOME!!! Thanks to everyone who commented!!
So the shot is taken on the beautiful Carribean beach of West Bay, located on the island of Roatan in Honduras. I had been trying to get one of those ¨holding the sun¨ pictures for a while now, having tried unsuccessfully with my girlfriend not too long ago - and so when I discovered the beautiful sunsets at West Bay, as well as the unobstructed ¨dock¨, I knew I was holding a gem. Thanks to Pat and Gabriella for chillin´ out on those posts while I snapped away!
Unfortunately, I had snapped this pic before the ¨contre-jour¨ challenge was announced. And then Gabby left.. but.. there is still hope for me...
P.S - Taking these types of pictures is NOT fun for the eyes

Wow!!! What an amazing photo to achieve a personal best with. I wonder what the story is behind this photo if there is one. It looks like there is. It is really great! Congratulations on your first honorablel mention too!
Another Karate Kid sequel.... haha
Nice piece of work, like the compostion
Trying to think of improvments, perhaps an obviously older male would have implied more of a "Gift from the Gods".
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.
omg !!!!!!!!!!!! I love this so much.. I'm jealous.. I want this to be my entry.. :-).. This is such a 10 I can't believe it... it's a 100.. I can't wait to see who's taken this so I can look at all your other pictures. Unbelievable use of light. So creative. Genius !! ok, I'll stop now.. Superb !!
