The horse has to much detail in it for me as a silhouette. The definition for silhouette is "the dark shape and outline of someone or something visible against a lighter background, especially in dim light" and for me a sharp or outline has no detail and is just a that.......a shape that from that shape I can determine what it is.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I can see where you want to go with this shot, Daniel, and you're close but not quite there. I also love those gorgeous big fluffy pink and blue cotton-candy clouds, and you only have a couple of minutes to try and get them before the light changes. Mainly, with the buildings being such a heavy element (in all terms of the word - they're visually blocky and sharp-edged in contrast to the clouds). They are also in such sharp focus they can't help but draw the eye to themselves. Having the trees there adds clutter to the shot. It may have been a better idea to just shoot straight up from where you were, as there was probably some nice pinky-blue tones overhead, and go with that. Either that or just a square crop of the left segment of your shot, so the leaning tower is the only hard-edged element in there and emphasizing the clouds instead of overwhelming them.

Hope this helps, please keep shooting and entering!

This is a shot of a black horse and I can see lots of detail on the black horse (nostrils, eyes, two legs, etc) for me this image does not meet the silhouette challenge.

But not a silhouette.

I am not voting in this challenge, but this is NOT a silhouette..... it is merely an under-exposed photo of a (otherwise lovely) horse photo.

This horse reminds me of Mr. Ed. He looks like he is about to say something important.
