I think the inclusion of the silhouetted figure is very dramatic. Completely makes the shot for me. Bravo.

did you get the colors by increasing saturation?

very slight increase of saturation/slight sharpening ... else as shot ... here is one other from the same set (about 2 minutes later) ... the subject was the bald-headed eagle diving for it's dinner

The one with the guy on the right is excellent. So many titles for the shot. A1 shot.

Thank you everyone for your comments ...

Thelaird - I agree - there are so many apt titles ... I use this pic as one of my desktop backgrounds - with the words -
'Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter' - (Martin Luther King Jr) as the title.

For me - photography is the art of portraying life and my interpretation of a particular moment in time ...

Initially Jim Morrison's words and this image are a perfect fit (for me, that is) - then MLK's wisdom (might) make it more meaningful in a different context ... that is the beauty of photography - anyone can feel and interpret whatever and whenever they want ...
