Location: Stuart Park, Ithaca, NY

I'm moving tomorrow and didn't think I'd get to enter this challenge. This evening when I went to dinner I took my camera, though, and captured this shot on my way home. Unfortunately the bottom branches of the willow kept blowing around and getting fuzzy... oh well :)

editing: crop, resize, a little burning to disguise detail that made it less like a silhouette, little spot editing for lights across lake, increase contrast, green filter, USM

It's a really nice photo, but in order to be it a silhouette, I should've darkened it much more, still too many details are shown.

Interesting almost-duetone, but way too much sharpening

I think if you could have moved yourself to another position. Her and the tree would have been silhouetted togther. How about a 7

Great composition. Wish you had taken turned the entire foreground to full black in post-processing

I really like this shot. Well framed. Lots of emotion. Well done.

Serious haloing around all your dark areas. Also the blues look kinda muted. How did you post process this?

Nice scenery but there is a terrible halo all around the subjects in the image, strong usm the culprit perhaps...
