Ok... so this is a trick shot. I'm really stretching the rules to their limits here but I just don't have the equipment for this kind of shot. Originally I took a photograph of myself with my guitar walking away, it was very rough - but that was the point, the pose was what mattered. I then edited the photograph so that I was the only thing remaining in shot and made myself completely blacked out. I then printed this off on a white sheet of paper and backlit it with a lamp for the effect. Yes it could have been done easily in a studio, but I just don't have the space.

Very emotive photo. Great silhouette work with a crisp outline and interesting lighting. I understand the idea of the musicial walking away with his head down, but it just dosn't work well for me I don't find the pose to be very flattering. Otherwise very nice silhouette.
An unusual shot. The lighting makes me want a sharp silhouette and it is a tad soft. Yet, that may well suite the theme of the picture as he walks off into who knows what. Like the composition and lighting, focus doesn't work for me.
