Very nice silhoutte-effect.
03/17/2009 04:13:41 PM
Interesting silhouette against the lighter greys in the back, I like the sharpness of it.
03/17/2009 07:04:24 AM
Lovely silhouetted image.
03/16/2009 11:28:33 PM
Cool silhouette. I like your choice of black and white... the tones create a good mood.
03/16/2009 10:16:25 PM
Rock on. Nice silhouette. Love the flying hair.
03/16/2009 06:06:32 PM
nicely composed.
03/16/2009 01:09:36 PM
good choice for a silhouette however the background could off been a bit lither.
03/16/2009 03:34:03 AM
not to bad a splash of light maybe on her face would have made this from a good pic to something really good
03/16/2009 12:45:18 AM
A strong silhouette but I can't work up much enthusiasm for the photo overall.
03/15/2009 10:29:58 PM
I like the silhouette a lot!
03/15/2009 10:00:40 PM
Nice Album Cover
03/15/2009 09:30:15 PM
cool

Voted earlier leaving comments now. Great silhouettes here in this shot - nice and deep to contrast with the light sky. Love the mood that this creates - the windblown hair of the person and the very identifiable shape of the guitar as the musician is strumming really creates a carefree spirit. I am trying to figure why you would make this a B&W rather than in color. With the title being "Songs of the Night" some deep blues/violets/black hues would further emphasize the look and feel. Not only would it possibly add some appealing colors but the colors themselves if cool hues (blue, purples, greens etc.) tend to influence mood. The cool colors could further invoke the carefree mood; the feelings of serenity. I would guess that the B&W is to call more attention to the singer/musician which that it does, but the connection of night and songs at night is not as strong as it could be had it been in color. Nonetheless a very cool photo - one I could easily see on an album cover.

Good silhouette. Maybe cropped a little tight at the top.
03/15/2009 06:58:37 PM
It's like they are playing out in a misty field
03/15/2009 06:49:47 PM
A lot of good silhouettes this challenge. I wish the background was a little lighter. Probably would've cropped off where that dark line across the bottom too. The silhouette itself looks pretty good though.
03/15/2009 03:23:38 PM
A nice silhouette. Tells a story.
03/15/2009 10:16:11 AM
Nice silhouette, I like her windblown hair.
03/15/2009 07:04:35 AM
Cool silouette

like the silhouette
03/14/2009 11:14:37 AM
I think this would make a nice album cover.
03/14/2009 09:59:28 AM
Nice silhouette. May have pulled back the shot or crop a little so it isn't so tight on top.
03/14/2009 09:34:13 AM
Nice silhouette - would like to see this in colour also.
03/13/2009 03:56:35 PM
Cool silouette
03/13/2009 03:04:49 PM
Okay silhouette but lacks something
03/13/2009 01:34:07 PM
Great image, I wish there was a little more space at the top though.
03/13/2009 01:04:59 PM
This is one of the cooler silhouttes I have seen in a while. I love the messiness of her hair and order of the guitar. Its very easy to get sucked into this picture.
03/13/2009 12:39:16 PM
Great silhouette. The background is a little bland for my taste.
03/13/2009 11:31:47 AM
lovely
03/13/2009 10:41:51 AM
good idea but could use a little more negative space with the guitar and person
03/13/2009 09:51:21 AM
Really get a sense of the music coming from the shadows
03/13/2009 09:42:31 AM
Too bad I can't hear the sound. Very dark but it has a certain mood.
03/13/2009 12:02:48 AM
the hair really makes this come alive - well done!
03/12/2009 08:23:11 PM
Great silhouette. A lot of movement.
03/12/2009 07:33:00 PM
I like the silhoette affect here.
03/12/2009 06:27:31 PM
great siluet
03/12/2009 03:43:59 PM
Interesting shot!
03/12/2009 09:45:25 AM
Nice silhouette and subject but a little to bland for me. Needs some punch.
03/12/2009 07:21:41 AM
I like the silohuette, nice and sharp
03/12/2009 07:07:44 AM
Mixed feelings about this. A little too low key to me , but I like the mysterious nature of the shot makes it interesting. 6
03/12/2009 01:25:27 AM
People are probably dogging on you for the silhouette, but I like it =) Cool photo.
03/12/2009 01:00:09 AM
Nice title, it really fits this shot.
03/11/2009 10:51:29 PM

Lovely, simple. The monochrome works well and although silhouettes tend to be kind of cheezy, I think this works.
