This is actually a small 4 inch black cut out of a person in a yoga position. I placed it on my kitchen table and then used my little bike light to light it from behind between the table and the canvas backdrop. I actually took several shots of just the figure but then liked the incense burner too. Probably should have just had the figure with the light as many commented. I wanted to do this idea but did not have any one to pose for me nor do I have studio space, so I improvised.

Love the silhouettes. Peacefull.

This is nice, but I would have like it better without the candle. The candle ruins the centered symmetry effect. I'm giving this an 8. Without the candle this would have been a strong 10.

Very well done, great sillohette! 10.

Clever double meaning to the term centered. I like the image too.

7 A great idea, ruined by the forced attempt at centering. The reflection could have been a very important part of the image, but as it is, it´s only a sign of not caring to much for the correct composition. Still, a 7, not based on the technical merits, but only for the sake of a refreshing idea.

Love the play one word and the pic

Breathtaking shot (10)

Superb lighting, very clever caption. Would have been better (imo) with just the person dead center.

I think this is a very neat photo, but I think the red light detracts from the main color theme.

Nice image. I don't know how you produced the picture, but it looks like either she's levitating or the reflection was botched in post.

I really like how this came out, good work.

Excellent concept, execution, lighting & composition. Post processing looks a little flat, and the silhouettes suffer from color fringing. Nice work, 6.
