Did you take that photo? I know bugger all about photography but it does seem incredibly good.

I did - thank you.

When shooting against the light, you have to avoid underexposure of the main subject (unless you want a silhouette) and bleaching out of the background. I exposed for the mid tones and kept the sky out of the shot. Mrs Longrider reckons it has a touch of the Monet about it.
