The famous winged beings at Hoover Dam appear to bow to the sun - the giver of all energy. An irrestible subject to shoot. Also seen are overhead lines transporting power from the Dam.
There are no details on the backside, but the sunlight falls on the slightly turned palms drawing attention to them.

It looks like everything but the lightsource is in sihouette.

The power lines(?) in back of the subject are very distracting and the subject does not have enough detail.

did not follow the rules, subject can not be a silhouette.

I find that the sun completely overpowers this photograph, keeping your subject in too much of a silhouette and detracting from the composition.

Nice composition. Maybe play with the levels and contrast.

Light is so bright that I can't see your subject. It looks interesting.
