Default Silhouettes

The sun was setting and it had a crazy orange hue to it. I went outside and I took this:

Thanks! Yeah, I was simply in awe so I tried to capture it. Sunsets are my current obsession

Beautiful, I've always loved silhouettes, I have one of my own actually that I took several years ago on a vacation, hopefully it's ok to share it here:

It's a photo-manipulation as well, though it was just a quick cutout option in Photoshop which made it look the way it does.

hi
the silhouette certainly does make all the difference.There has been so many sunset and sunrise shots on DPS which have been great but this is cool
thanks for making a change

Good shot! Really like it a lot.
For your pictures to link back to flickr you have to click "All Sizes" on the picture on flickr and then select the one that's pixels are within the rules of DPS. Then, once you've done that, copy the code under the picture (still in all sizes mode) and paste it in your post.
Keep up the good work!!

I agree that the person does make this shot so much better than a normal sunset image
