    Great shot! Love the concept and execution. The only thing that could have improved it is if the guy in the back was a tad to the right.

    Is this is a composite?

    Welcome to the forum. This is a great picture. I agree with Shrackman, but still find this very effective. Exposure is perfect.

    great shot! Yeah, I guess the guy in back could be a tad to the right but I imagine you just had a quick moment in which the expression was just perfect so you had to take what you got.

    Very nice. As with the others, I wish there was a little more separation between the mid-distance and back persons, but considering the type of picture it was you don't want to overplan it. The colors are great too!

    Re: silhouette plus Lomo

    I'm glad to see you came back! The first photo was wonderful! This one is set up very, very well. Technically you've done everything almost perfectly. My own criticism is the composition. I am a stickler for the "Rule-of-Thirds." I may be too stuck on it. But in this case I really think your subject is too centered. My eye goes right to the hot spot in the middle and gets stuck. I don't get to look around at all. And the combination of the cnetered subject and centered sun exacerbate the compositional problem. I think you can improve it by cropping so that the subject isn't so centered. You've got plenty of room fro cropping. You won't be able to do anything about the sun, though. Try cropping from the left and the top and see if you don't think it makes for a more dynamic and digestable image.

    One of the guidelines for this forum is that you give as much as you receive. Please take a look at some of the other photos posted here and offer your own critiques. Photographers benefit from both ends of the critique relationship. We learn from other people offering us feedback. And we also learn from articulating what we like and don't like about other people's photos.

    Glad to have you here. Your photos are great and we always welcome more enthusiastic photographers

    Re: silhouette plus Lomo

    Great shots, nothing to add to the comments already posted but you mentioned that this was a lomo shot! You actually took these silhouettes with a plastic camera???

    Many thanks

    Re: silhouette plus Lomo

    Well, just when I said I wasn't a big fan of silhouettes...These are very nice, I like the first one better, it just expresses joy, I love the reflection off of the wet sand on both of them. You're right the second one does look a bit posed.
