Challenge: Silhouette At Night II (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: People
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR
Location: Washington, DC
Date: Dec 23, 2012
Aperture: 20.0
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/15
Date Uploaded: Dec 24, 2012

 We went down to see the National Christmas Tree in DC so I made my daughter and son-in-law-to-be kiss repeatedly in front of the tree. They didn't seem to mind ;-)

Not quite as sharp as I would've liked but this is the best silhouette outline.

PP - straightened, cropped, increased contrast, white balance, burnt faces a little, cloned out tourist in the background, resized, USM, added border.

would have liked to see just a bit more light between the faces, but still a good capture

Slightly clichéd right down to the slightly misshapen heart between them, but well done for all that syrupy sweetness.
