Comments:

This picture is the best picture I have ever taken. You can see he was coming out of the sun and as he was approaching I was trying to find a setting that would work.  I was shooting in aperture priority and it was partly cloudy, so the light kept changing. I really like the way the sun lights up his back. I am an amateur but I just retired and I am trying to get better.
