I was covering a group of unicyclists who rode on mountain trails in Telluride. We drove to the top of a trail and parked. The path had a lot of switch-backs in it that the cyclists followed. Learning earlier that one of the riders regularly ventured out onto a rock, turned around and came back onto the trail, I waited at that location for him to show up. The rock was already in the shadows with a sunlit background so I decided to make him a silhouette. Pre-setting my exposure for the bright background gave me what I wanted.  A wide angle lens was needed to get the rider and the beautiful background in the frame. Taking a low position that would get him up in the sky bit, I waited for my subject and took this picture.
