The colorful "painted" sky and sun make a marvelous background for this silhouette. The horse's tail is a bit strange here; if it was swishing then just a second sooner or later might have made a stronger shot.
A truly beautiful silhouette! The sky has lots of interest but not the usual bright, in your face, golden sunset - it's a much more subtle and subdued beauty. Subject of silhouette is just lovely and position of sun works beautifully also.
