Wonderful and first manty silhouette I've seen on dpc.DOF is critical here and you nailed it. Border works well. Good luck on your entry. -9-

Nicely done, usually do not see macros as silouettes.

This is a great idea and great subject. Unfortunately, i'm sure a lot of people mentioned the blown out background...which is super distracting. If the background was a single shape, even if it was blown out, this would be more effective...and you could use it for your composition -- ie, your placement of what where.
