This IS a great shot.
What camera do you use? I find such conditions (shooting up into the light) rather challening. Most point and shoot cameras don't really compensate for bright background, thus the object in the foreground ends up under exposed.
How did you get around that?

Well every shot with a "(JT)" below the pic was taken with a Canon G9, and that is about all I know.

The other ones (my shots) were taken with a Canon A620. All I do is put the camera in "sunlight mode" and turn down the meter thing (can't remember what it is called) to -1/3. Even without this they still look great. Canons just rule IMO.
