I love the colors and the details of the silhouettes. I believe the challenge has driven the crop but I am not found of the foreground. It just seems too much.
A very used and abused shot, perhaps.There is probably no photographer who never attempted this. But also an excellent photo and very graphical. The use of the hyperfocal distance is spot on. The diffraction from shooting into the sun is really well controlled, as it is the glare. Easy to expose but also difficult to expose really well. The silhouette is just perfect (please, don't tell me you spent 30 minutes waiting for the sun while cutting cardboard out.. just joking..). 9
