Haleakalâ - The House of the Sun
Volcano at Sunset (Maui, Hawaii)
What a feeling. 10,023 feet and above the clouds.
Not my best photo this month but a must for my entry into Free Study. Not many times that I'm on top of a volcano in Hawaii.
Hope you enjoy.

Thanks again for your feedback and critiques. Wish the motivational poster started a bit earlier. That was my inspiration for the border without text.

IMO, i find some silhouette shots to be cliche, but I have to tell you...this one is unique and does what a silhouette shot should do! it has clarity, fantastic colour...and great composition! very well done!
A good image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed with some minor technical issues like the over done bloom which affects the dark figure by forcing a red bloom into the arm. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.
