Challenge: Silhouettes II (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S50
Location: Spare Bedroom
Date: May 15, 2005
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/20
Date Uploaded: May 15, 2005

 Adjusted using perspective crop, levels, and a duplicate layer with gaussian blur that was faded to 55% opacity.

Shot on a whim, submitted while sleepy, it should fare the same as all my other shots: crappily.

If you like this, I appreciate it. Hopefully, I will be able to submit more impressive work in the future, since it sho ain't gonna happen in the past!

Concept: Hurts this image as a shadow cast on a sheet does not really come off as a sil.
Challenge: See above.
Composition: Centered but the crop helps to balance this technique.
Major Flaw: The concept relies on a smooth foreground and the sheet is way too apparent and wrinkled while the shadow is unevenly cast and further detracts from the potential.

Although technically this IS a silhouette, I tend to look for sharp edges and defined shapes. Thisis just my personal opinion though. Good luck.

This looks more like a shadow than silhouette to me. Silhouette should be dark with clear and sharp outlines to work well in my opinion. Nice shot though.

This is not a silhouette, it's a shadow. . . there's a difference.

I looks like the silhouette/shadow of someone behind a wrinkled sheet. OTher than that, there is not a lot here ot really grab the viewer's attention and make them remember your shot. Maybe a smoother "sheet" with a crisper focus/outline of the person, and even soem color would help make this more captivating.

The sheet with all of its wrinkles is very distracting. The image behind it is not very clear.

This is a great shot! Very nice job! I would have liked to see more in the vertical though. Very creative!

iron the sheet. i find the hands the most interesting part, perhaps the rest of the body should be more defined by stepping closer - you are on to a good idea, just needs some more work.

Nice. Escaping negative space has worked well here in this black and white. A more provocative or interesting object behind the sheet, would work very well here, male or female. 7
