What no technicals? How will we neophytes ever get it right. :confused: I like the silhouettes in the the FG and that is one giant sun. Definitely a different take on Balanced rock. Nice. :wavey:

I like what you were going after, but I think a bit shorter lens with a smaller sun would look good.

I like the prominent sun, it's at the center of a great mystery (life on earth). Your shot brings all this to mind for me Rick..
Well done! :toast: :toast:

The composition with nice silhouettes is superb, but the sun is too bright and too large for my taste. It is pulling eye away from the excellent bottom part (just my opinion Rick). :wink:
