 Darn near blinding. I was a ding-dong and stared straight at the sun while taking this pic. Ding dong. I also discovered that I could change the aperture settings by punching a button. Whoo learn something new every day. Those are clouds in the background.

I have no clue if this will be accepted as contre-jour but let me say this: the camera was DEFINITELY pointed at the light source.

Enjoy!

Score predict: Four and three quarters

Cool shot, for my taste I would rather it be just white black and blue, the pinkish hues on the clouds kinda detract from it for me, in levels you can hit the pull down and select red then desaturate until they disappear. I think this is legal in basic, anyway just a thought. Nice shot though and love the blue in this!

there's a very pretty abstract quality to this. the chain seems to blend into the sky in surprising ways.

WAY too saturated. I think it might have been better if the sun was covered by the chain
