Stunning silhouette that tells a story. Love the blue, it brings another dimension to an already glorious image. Congrats on this receiving well deserved recognition.

Shot completely natural light so I could make it a silhouetteEquipment
I used a cannon 5 d mark 2Inspiration
My friend loved surfing and riding horses so I thought to myself how could I combine them both and so I thought the beach would be perfect !Editing
I used lightroom 5 and I went for the old Polaroid look and ended up with thisIn my camera bag
5D mark 3, 16 - 35mm 2.8 L 50mm 1.2 L 70-200 2.8 L ll light stand and strobe light with soft boxFeedback
Timing of the day is the most important either as the sun is rising or as it is setting to get the best light and colors. Have the sun directly behind the subject so the silhouette is solid.
