very well composed - love the edit - the background in juxtaposition to the more aesthetic foreground is well done

Location
This photo was taken in Cancun, MX while I was on vacation. I was staying at a resort hotel in the Hotel Zone right on the beach.Time
I was out looking for photo opportunities when this silhouette caught my eye. He stood out against the buildings in the background. This was taken the end of November 2007 in midday.Lighting
Natural sunlight in Cancun, MX.Equipment
I used a Canon DSLR 20D with a telephoto 28 x 300mm lens, no tripod or flash.Inspiration
I was just shooting things at the beach and looking for anything that caught my eye and this lone silhouette did just that.Editing
This photo was copied to my new computer hence the number. The only post processing was to apply an HDR effect.In my camera bag
I always pack my Canon 20D with the 28-300mm lens, the Canon 7D with my 28-135mm Macro lens, an extra battery for each camera, one or more point and shoot cameras, and lens kits.Feedback
I think patience is the key. A little luck helps to have the great capture present itself. Some captures may be better than you initially think and with a closer look or different crop or some minor post processing can be amazing. Try taking pictures out of your comfort zone and try different settings to get the effect you want. Practice, practice, practice!
