Roberta, the angle and distance from which I took this photograph... I was lucky to see their feet at all! lol What you are looking at is a combination of rocks and sand near the beach, leaving the beach area. Maybe some grassy area near the feet would look natural, I don't know? I'll experiment with that suggestion, thank you. Mark J

Mark, Great concept! Did you darken or airbrush the area near their feet? Some of the plants and grasses near the person on the left show a bit of detail but appear to be painted over. I think a tiny bit of grass/plant detail would be more natural near their feet. Hope you don't mind be asking! Roberta

Fantastic shot, Mark...great colors and perfect silhouettes. You should cut a bit of the sky IMHO! Regards Klaus Wiese

Beautiful, Mark. Reminds me of some vista for a movie shot in Africa or something like that. Helen

Marc, very intriguing image. For me the different stances and body shapes of the people gives this image pop and draws you in. You cannot help but enjoy this wonderful sunset with them. Caught at just the perfect timing in the sunset -- very well done! El-See

Very nice use of silhouettes and backlighting. Looks like it should be a movie poster for "Stand By Me" or "The Lost Boys." JoeSchmoe

Mark: This is a very, very nice creative piece. From my point of view, both original and evocative. Fremiet
