*Critque Club*
I like the colors in this shot.
Not really knowing what a Boccie is, I wouldn't be able to tell you if this really captures the spirit of 'boccie', but it looks like a lady throwing a ball. Don't know what she's throwing it at, and by the pic, there doesn't seem to be any real purpose to her throwing the ball. This, to me, doesn't make for a captivating photo. Maybe if I knew more about it, it might gain interest for me, but I don't, so it doesn't. Does that make sense?
Anyway, like I said, the colors are really nice. I like the blue on green. Nice blues, nice greens.
Focus seems good. There are nice crisp lines on the outlines of the people. The blurred ball creates a bit of motion there, which I think has more impact than if the ball were in focus.
I do wish we could see what she's throwing the ball at. Is she trying to throw it into a basket? Is she throwing it at something on the ground? Into a 'goal'? At someone? These questions are unanswered by your photo. I wonder if a crop to show that might have been more effective for people who aren't familiar with 'boccie'.
As for being a silhouette? I didn't vote, so who cares. lol. Seriously though, in my opinion, I think it's borderline. There's a little too much detail to be a 'silhouette', but not enough detail to show the subjects well. So I could go either way on the decision, and would probably have given you the benefit of the doubt if I had voted.

| Unfortunately this is not really a silhouette and appears to be a snapshot. It looks like you used too much contrast, color enhancing and/or sharpening. Good luck with future challenges! |

| I'm sure this might get hammered by the fact that "this is not silhoutte enough", however I think it is a good capture. Their main features (i.e. their faces) are nicely silhoutted and I like the detail in their clothing. The only thing that I would have changed based on my experience at DPC is a tighter crop (just to the left of the gentleman's elbow and right of the boccie ball) and more sky and less ground (reposition the subjects so that less than 1/4 of the image was represented by the grass. Good Luck. |

| This is almost a silhouette. You really shouldn't be able to see any color in your subjects in a true silhouette. |

| Hmmm. A little too much sidelight for me to consider this a true silhouette. However, The colors are fantastic. Nice action capture. Photo does feel a little unbalanced. Maybe a different crop would help. |
