Dishonesty isn't scooter88's style. But if that were to change, I've heard all you need to do to sleep well at night is to leave a tiny sign in the photo but be sure to make it so that it's 99% black with a font size of .01 microns.

Did Magritte and Hitchcock collaborate? Quite the image. My favorite.

Whiskey's Gone - Zac Brown Band

The white background is a bit too overpowering. The bottom part is much better where you have the gradient and the shot glass just pops as a result.

I Walk the Line

That's pretty out there. Nice editing. The ghosts aren't as strong as the rest of the edit. Btw, I didn't realize ghosts cast shadows.

Moving on...

The composition seems after the fact, but you can't beat that energy.

Most silhouettes that do well in these challenges tend to be static and lifeless. They often get by on color and sharpeness alone. Sometimes the subjects are asked to jump in an attempt to make the image come alive, which is what a photograph really needs. Here, the subjects aren't even alive much less jumping around yet this is more real than many other photos depicting real subjects. A credit to the photographer.

You're a good photographer, but it looks like you're letting the ribbon chase get in the way of the making honest to good photographs. Even as someone who use to compete in the ribbon chase this feels cheap. You're much better thant that. Anyway, dismiss this if you like. Just one man's opinion. Not sure what you mean. It was a Silhouette challenge and nowhere it said I cannot photograph a statue. Then I guess you can make the same argument about people who use fishing lines to come up with photographs that look "deceiving" which is something I never do. You're not getting it. In most cases the viewer knows that fishing lines or something else is being used in the trick. The viewer knows that a trick is being done. In your case you're attempting to pass off something as real when it wasn't. If it was judged as the trick it was it would have scored 5.7 not 7.7. You know this. That's why you called it "The Wild" and not the name of the statue. Actually it is YOU who is NOT getting it. Where in the challenge did it say we are not allowed to photograph Silhouette of a statue??? show me! It is none of your business if I choose to photograph a statue and also not of your business what I call it. Get that through your thick skull, moron!

Awesome.
