I like that you left the word tracks on the sign showing. But it just doesn't fit the challenge.

The image is "high key," and I agree it borders on being a silhouette. I kinda knew that it was really pushing it when I entered it in the challenge. I too thought the shot was interesting, and the that just maybe I could get away with the entry. For me, the low score from the challenge doesn't take away from the image itself. Thanks for your comments and response!

Art: Thank you for your comments. As I gazed across the farmland and tree lines of the midwest, I could think of nothing else other than "this should not be here." So unnatural to the landscape.
It appeared almost violent, and was certainly "unappealing." That was my take and motivation for the shot, and I'm at least glad that's what came across. YMMV

Nice catch. Leaves something to the imagination.

I like this engaging prtrait very much. I might have cropped closer. I am not sure the background soda drinkers add to the image.

He looks a bit like Charlie Chaplin!
Unfortunately, though, that is not a silhouette. Maybe if the rest of the scene wasn't that very over-exposed, he probably would pass as a silhouette .......
