Photographer at work

Canon 5D 50mm f4 1/8000s ISO800

The more I look at this picture the more I like it.  We were having fun and shooting into the setting sun.  I was sitting on a bench and very close to the subject.  

The silhouette composition works amazingly well.  I got this picture because 1: I was close, 2: I was ready with my camera and quick with its settings, 3: I kept thinking of how to work with the light, even when the conditions aren't perfect, and 4: serendipity.
