Great silhouette of Steve. Looks just like him. Also looks just like me. Funny things, silhouettes.

Love the blue sky too. ...And the ring of trees.

This angle would have worked in the "From the Ground Up" challenge... "StDavidson, From the Ground UP".

Cool shot! But it looks like he's missing an arm. I like the silhouette idea and the sky is gorgeous behind him. Heh! Just read Steve's comment - what a hoot! And I agree that a vertical-ish crop cutting off the tree on the left would look nice. Nice interpretation of this challenge!

Yup, that's me. Looks just like Indiana Jones missing his right arm. Lost the arm when I had to fight off a herd of javalina that attacked me while lost in the desert. Thank goodness I found a den of diamondback rattlers nearby and was able to grab them by their tails and fling them at the marauding herd to fend it off. Indiana Jones hates snakes... I hate javalina. This is just one of the many unknown dangers I faced while fighting for my life against vicious animals, claim jumpers, cattle rustlers and horse thieves in 120 heat without water or food for 40 days and 40 nights.
Oh, yeah... the picture... Nice sharp black silhouettes against the clouded sky. Make the "lost photographer" look a lot more dude than he really is. That is a big plus in my book. Given the funky fuzziness in the tree on the far left I'd consider cropping that out of the composition all together. That would give a tighter crop and place the photographer closer to the left rule of thirds line. You could also make the image the same size and that would make me bigger... another big plus. Then you would achieve perfection. ;) - Steve
