 Rush to put together at the last minute. Aghh...there's already over 300 pictures already submitted! Took a piece of frosted plastic with hanging letters and my daughter sleeping in front. Colored gels over lights behind the sheet of plastic.

Shot in jpeg tethered to my PC with all the standard post work: crop, increase sat, levels, NeatImage, resize, sharpen, save for web.

Hope this does well!

Great concept and lovely execution. The colours are superb and the silhouette nice and clean. Hope you have time to explain how you created this shot, would love to know how you achieved such a great piece of work.

I like the colors you used, but it took me looking twice to notice the person at the bottom. It would have helped to make them stand out somehow.

Interesting picture, but I think the added letters distract. I'd like it more without the letters and perhaps cropped at the left end of her head.
