A special thanks to my wife for standing on our balcony in 95 degree heat and suffocating humidity, trying not to laugh while we kissed about 50 times to get the shot :)

I have to say I'm a little disappointed at how this one turned out. My monitor at home is calibrated and has pretty high contrast, so when I submitted it, I thought it looked pretty good, with just a little bit of the subjects' faces having a faint glow, with the rest of them blacked out. I checked this image at work after I submitted it, and I could clearly see that I didn't black them out nearly enough. Good lesson for me, though: I need to either adjust my home monitor or check my shots from 2 different computers to make sure it looks right!

Are you getting comments that you can still see detail in their faces thus it isn't a silhouette? I have to agree. The definition is dimly lit, not jet black. Ok, I'll get off of my soap box. Just wanted to vent because I'm getting those sorts of comments on mine. :)
Beautiful photo with great use of lines and light. I don't know if it's just me being narrow minded, bu the light on their faces screams "not silhouette" to me.
good background, a bit cheesy of a pose. With this being advance editing, I would have liked for the couple to have been just a bit more silhouetted. Black and white was a good choice for this, it comes off as being film noir-ish.
