Silhouette shots have always been popular and despite the branches intruding slightly there's still a lot of impact with this shot. I exposed for the brightest part of the sky and then closed down one more stop,or maybe even two stops. Of course you don't just take oneshot in situations like this, you take ten and keep changing the subject position, the camera position, or alter the camera settings. There is never a perfect exposure for something like this, but you soon learn what works and what doesn't. In case you're wondering, Dave Thomas is wearing a woolly hat - he wished he'd worn kneepads like me after kneeling on a thistle.
