Congratulations, Brian! Top 20! I really expected this one to be on the front page tho, but a 6.3 and top 20 finish is nothing to be disappointed in is it! THis is an aweseome photo. I gave it a deserving 10. I love the sunset looking colors and the silhouette! Fantastic job!

This is a great finish Brian, and I am so pleased for you. I really love this one mate, and adding it as a favorite.....
My only wish, is that you didn't get those dreaded one's, and two's, and three's, as they are a killer to your all over score, and your image just doesn't deserve them..... Shame of those that vote this way.

Nice light, good sharp silhouette. Not sure that there's anything deeper here.

"WOW" this is just so clever, and I love the title, the image, and especially the colors you have used...... Absolutely "TOPS" in my book, and one of the better one in this challenge.

Arguably among the most artistic and appealing images in the challenge. Very well conceived and executed. If I were king for a day, it would ribbon.

So far, this is my favorite! I love that beautiful sunset-like gradient for your background, and silhouette photos always draw me in. I think you did an amazing job on this. 10
