My kids posing for me, just playing around with light. Camelia is a great poser. Patrick just likes playing his Game Boy.
Shot using my Tamron 28-75 XR Di f/2.8 @ 28mm. I love this lens.
Processed from the small JPEG saved along with the RAW file. No time to go from the RAW.

- duplicate layer
- adjust levels on 2nd layer to enhance silhouette

Manny is that you again? :) great photo. Love the shadows. Love the blow out windows works great for your image. Always look forward to see what you come up with next :)
One of my top three photos for this challenge. I love the contrast of the girl's silhouette versus the boy in full view. I am drawn into the solitude of the photo - despite depicting two people, it really gives you a sense of being alone. I can easily get lost in either person's world. The boy, whiling away an afternoon, bored but intent. The girl longing to be elsewhere, even her pose helps the viewer imagine her face lost in thought. The lighting is wonderful. The sepia is just perfect, and this coming from one who is not a fan of sepia. 10 and into my favs it goes.
I admire this shot immensely. The tonalities are beautiful, the whole scene speaks to me hauntingly. As a "silhouette" entry it will probably be seen as marginal by the voters, but I'm willing to accept it as meeting the challenge. Nice work!
While not one of the more breathtaking silhouetts in the challenge it is definately one of the more detailed. You managed to capture hundreds of texture pefecty and crisply. I always enjoy a photo that still leaves you new things to enjoy after you glance at it the first time. Very nice. 8
Really nice! Soft warm quiet. Nice lines, forms, and composition. Wonderful contrast! there is a little spot in the lower left window that is a little distracting, but no big deal.
