Challenge: Silhouettes III (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Lens: Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM
Location: Kassagerdin, Reykjavik

Aperture: F / 5.0
ISO: 100

 Shoot with bowens to the left, bowens was with beauty-disc

The orginal plan was letting the dog be more like attackin on the Silhoutte guys, but the poor dog was so tierd

I think this will not do good things, I have feeling that people want more softer and classic like Silhouttes, I mean everybody loves cliches :D

I quite like this. The thing thats not cutting it for me is the guy on the right. His pose is very uncool and he doesn´t look nearly as "hard" as the other guy. Loose that guy and this is an 7 from me.

One of 20 best photos in this challenge.

The color pops, the image tells a story, the people give life to the photo.

I should have rated this higher..more like an 8.

Keep up the storytelling...we need more photographs like this.

Very creepy mood.... the dog feels out of place. Would have worked better without the dog ?

I feel like your background is too distracting.

I think this scene would be much stronger with the hooded figure and the dog, but cropping out the guy on the right. I just don't like his pose, and his profile doesn't really sell the "hoodlum" look to me. I like the bright background, and it fits the them very well.

Expression of guy on the right kind of ruins it. So does the dog. Otherwise, great idea!
