The person in this photo was helping a windsurfer secure their sail to pack at the end of a day of wind surfing and I just happened to be in the right place... hope it does well.
Well, I am very pleased with getting two favs for this shot... I am a little surprised it didn't reach the 6 mark... but such is DP ... thanks to all who made comments.. very appreciated!

I'm with SandyP. You wuz robbed. I love the perfect crescent framing the sun. The translucence makes a welcome change from the plain, black silhouettes.
Dang! How in the WORLD did this end up in 52nd place with a sub-6 score! I really hate it when an exquisite photo like this gets robbed of the score it deserves! It is stunning!
This would have been an incredible shot if you could have captured the full body in silhouette. Nice lighting, and I like the pattern on the sail. The "banding" in the sky (visible edges instead of a smooth transition from one tone to another) detracts from the shot.
