There are things in life that we can not explain and perhaps there is a reason for that. Everyone wants to be the best person possible but with every glimmer of hope that shines like a ray from the sun a shadow is casted. Shadows and silhouettes are unique because we see them and are drawn to them no matter how dark and unknown they may be. In every scary movie people choose to continue down the creepy dark path as we yell at the screen saying "stop you idiot" but I believe it's human nature to want to explore the unknown and to explore those mysteries. I find myself to be obsessed with silhouettes because they remind of people. That is, we know what we see but we can't see what is truly underneath. The sun casting its light through the clouds is a perfect representation of this, and backlight, as the palm tree is casted in a silhouette. You see a palm tree but you are left with wanting to know more. But with the right amount of light anything can be revealed.

What a gorgeous photo and very poetic observation! Really great shot of "conceal and reveal" being used together. I love the thought and the depth you put into your work Daniel. Nicely done.
