i don't get it. maybe you could explain it. no offence but it just looks like something that would take a few minutes to put togeather. I like the silhoute idea tho...

Well, the completion didn't take me hours if that's what you mean. The lighting was created by a once in a life time moment: the sun was actually setting not rising, and it was raining outside. Originally the photo had a rainbow peeking on the corner of it, but I had to crop it because it became too noisy because I wanted to emphesize the bright orange tones that the sun glared in. I then tweaked the background by sharpening it heavily to get all the textures from the rugged concrete wall. Shooting it was pretty awkward as well because I had to be on my knees for a while to get the silhoutte into a good angle. Then of course the sun began setting and I lost the image, so I didn't have all that much time to work on the angles and such.

"Putting it together" was more or less a carpe diem effort which is why the photo was successful. What else is there to get?

Thank you! A few other people have thought that as well. The solar lighting was outlandish, so I had a nice colour scheme to work with.

Alien-planet skyscape, eh? The funny thing is that I didn't really have to adjust contrast too much to get that tone.

yeah, though it looks alien, i realize that it's earthly and it just goes to show the amazing coloring abilities of mother nature ^_^

Orange is my favourite colour and my god it looks good here. So vibrant and intense, and the composition with the hard shadows is excellent.
A really unique photograph in that it implies the subject without really showing it.

Creative and a very aesthetically pleasing result.
Well done Wilby

Thank you. Yes, I love the way shadows mimic our very being and how you can identify what they mimic without actually seeing the real object. I was lucky to capture shadows with a story to tell... Thanks again.

Thank you... That's very kind of you. This is really just the kind of boost I needed because I have an application test to an art school on monday, and being a terrible pessimist, I've imagined all the terrible things they're going to say about my stuff. Thank you again, you're a great watcher, I'm glad to "have you in my corner".
