I normally look at the titles as an afterthought...preferring to have the image tell me it's story. It wasn't until I read the title that I realized that you wanted me to consider the human silhouettes in the foreground. The Tower is so imposing that the foreground just got lost.

light beams and people in the foreground make the difference to a standard night shot... great, 9

I’m just not feeling that this is within the Contre-jour technique. Nice shot just not what I think when I’m looking for Contre-jour.

Great exposure. Where's the theme of the challenge, though?

nice effect though I think those silhouettes distract from the Tower. guess it would depend on what the subject of the photo is?? If it's the people, then the Tower definitely distracts the viewer from them

The people in the foreground are wonderful but I wouldn't really call them the main subject and the tower isn't lit from behind. Ignoring that, however, I really like the shot and are glad that you did include the people.
