This was taken at the Baltimore Aquarium. It was more of an accidental shot, but I like the brightness of the backdrop in contrast to the blurred silhouettes. Post-processing was USM only.

I don't really know what this image is - I don't find it appealing and I'm not truly seeing the silhouette here. I think those objects on the lower half of the photo are people and I think you may have taken this with a slower shutter creating the motion blur effect - but it doesn't really work here. Sorry... wishing you luck on future challenges.

Was this taken at the Baltimore Aquarium?

Hmmm, ...this is a difficult one. I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm looking at, and I've tried. Underwater life? Seems like many photos sown together, but then the colors are really so similar that I'm inclined to blieve it is all one image. Originally I thought it's not abstract enough to appeal to me as an abstract, but the fact that I keep coming back to look at it clearly proves I'm wrong there.

OK, I got up to answer the phone as I typed this comment and from across the room I got this idea: bank of monitors at an aquarium with the view obstructed by people walking by?

the focus is more on the background, and not on the silhouettes. I wish for a fraction more sharpness on the figures. Still, I like this image in the overall sense, its vibrant colors, its sense of movement.

This looks like it was shot through a stainglass window. Could use some straightening. The subjects of the photo should be clearer so we can see what they are.

Almost didn't see the silhouettes the first time through....but upon closer inspection I realize that I must have been up too late the first time! Great colors and an interesting background. The blur of the people is a little too indistinct for my own tastes, but they are definitely silhouettes!

it takes a while to "read" the image -- perhaps a shorter shutter speed with more distinct figures would help
