Self portrait. I brought a bunch of my stuff to this place a mile and a half away to get some shots for the challenge - this was actually a focus/composition test shot, the rest of them were with my bike and my film camera and telephoto, and in different spots. I liked this one because it wouldn't take spot editing to make it a real silhouette, and I like the composition.

Hoping it scores over my avg. vote.

Editing: Increased contrast, desaturated and darkened shadows in ACR, curves, sharpen, resize, border.

A great photo...perfect. I actually feel bad for only giving this a 7..it deserves higher.

The white casues a shimmer effect and the person almost has a ghostly feel.

Wonderful photo.

Wow, nice. Very dark and bold. I can kinda see features on the boy and, although they add to the image, I don't know if their adding to the image takes away from the qualifications of a silhouette.... I do like the image, though

An interesting shot, but the background is a bit too rich and "obfuscates" the main subject
