 Bit of a last minute job. I hope I've interpreted this theme correctly and that the photo doesn't DNMC (If that double negative makes sense?)

Anyway, taken at Monkey Forest in Staffordshire, England. This Barbary Macaque monkey was hanging out in the branches of this tree, and as it was a bright day I thought this would make a nice Silhouette.

My aim in entering this challenge (my 2nd) is to score higher than my first entry to any of the challenges which scored 4.4783, so any score over that would be a success in my eyes. Over 5 would be even nicer, and might result in me doing a little celebratory dance around my living room. :)

Here's what I did PP if anyone is interested:

B&W
Slightly increase Brightness and Contrast
Curves
Shadow/Highlight
Unsharp Mask
Resize Image
Resize Canvas (to create border)
Resize Image (again, to get the KB's down)

It's a bit dark on my monitor.

I like how you used b&w for this image. I think color would have made it too busy maybe. Your title fits the challenge and it made me smile.

The contrast between the bright and shadows seem a bit extreme.

I find this image very harsh because of the lightness of the background.
