[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken one lazy afternoon on a beach along the West Coast.

I positioned myself in the subject's shadow, and the sun just exactly behind her head to get that halo effect and silhouette.

It is an easy thing to do but tons of fun, especially if you let your model do unnatural poses.

Cheers!

Life is Beautiful. So as your photo. Great composition. I see what it is said; "yellow is radiantly cheerful when contrasted with dark tones. And here "golden yellow suggests the highest sublimation of matter by the power of light, impalpably, radiant, lacking transparency, but weightless as a pure vibration". I, also, like the bright heavenly aura you captured, and the reflection on it in the sand.
