this wasnt as much photoshopped as people thought ......

The original is wery close to what this looks like, those are statues that have funny edges!

I think your picture would have gained from some detail in the subjects. Since there is no forground/background for them to interact with in any way and the edges being so sharp, they seem a bit cut-out of the picture rather than being silhouettes.

Whatever it is you did to blacken the subjects, I don't like it. Looks like a kid got to it with scissors.

Edge of model seems too sharp (statue?). Cool background

This doesn't look right to me. It's either oversharpened, statues, or heaven forbid after all the recent scandals, photoshopped.

Nice idea, but way overphotoshopped. It almost looks like the men were blacked out from the photograph. Either way, 7

Interesting composition. The background sky is stunning! But, the silhouetted figures have very sharp and ragged edges, detracting from the effect.

I like the composition, Strong graphic. Too bad there's a merger with the distant fifures right arm with the nearer figure's left leg. Diagnal cloud patter very effective - paralleling the diagonal of the subjects.
