Evening rider, a photo from Saint Petersburg, Northwest

Photographer's Note

I know that sunset is a very common picture. May be with a rider it will be a little bit more interesting.
In fact it was much ligther and the white strip from airplane in the sky was seen much better. I would be appreciate very much for any advice about shooting in such a conditions - against very bright sun.

gorgeous! looks like the rider is racing with the plane in the sky! would you share what lense you used and tech details?

Good one. I am not sure about the dark spot on the right side of the rider, though.
And... I would crop it a lot from the left side.

Great image, I also like the slight blur to the rider which does the image good.

Hello
This is an impressive picture well done!
Very warm colors around the sun but black in the ground.This is not necessary bad option,i like it. Maybe details on the grond would be distracting.I like what i see , so it is a nice photo.. Keep shooting ;)

A very nice picture. Slightly too dark. A tip to take picture in such conditions : if your camera plans to shoot with f/20 and 1/640 seconds like in this case, turn to manual mode and use f/16 and 1/640 seconds. The picture should be lighter. If not use f/11. But take care for your eyes !
