I suppose that a case could be made for calling this a silhouette, but it still seems like quite a stretch. The hotspots on the underside of the railing and platform are distracting. Since advanced editing was allowed on this challenge, burning these areas to tone down the effect would have helped.

I like being able to see some of the lighthouse. However, I wish it didn't appear to be leaning.

barely a silhouette. no real point of focus beyond the lighthouse (needs a person in fram, I think)
