a prickly subject but you produced a nice "sharp" shot.

I bet you'll get loads of comments saying its not dark enough to be a silhouette but I don't care. Its backlit, its beautiful

The Rooftop

interesting but the light sky seems to light for such a dark roof, suggesting it wasn't a silhouette before it went into photoshop.

BUT thats just my opinion and I will NOT be marking you down for it.

nice but over photoshopped I think. But thats just my personal opinion and I'm not for a second suggesting it is in any way illegal.

The problem with this challenge being "advanced editing" meant that any photo could be adjusted enough and played with to be a silhouette.

yarrrrrr, avast me hearties, a grand photgraph indeed.

Its a shame you were obviously higher than the ship, as it would have been great to have seen more of the boat above the horizon.

What ship is it? I have some great shots somewhere of a replica of the "Golden Hind" when it was moved from one port to another a few years ago but nothing as nice as this

very nice, but how did you get the red colour? Is it photoshopped, it would be a shame if it was but I WILL NOT be marking you down because of it.

Its a shame there are artefacts on the left hand side of the sky, too much contrast adjustment??
