 This is last minute submition, I was not very creative for this week challenges. The subject is a sculpture that we bought in Porto Seguro-BA. My wife was pregnant at that time and this sculpture is a good remember from the good times we had in Porto Seguro.
I´m expecting something around 5.5 for this photo, because of its simplicity. I tend to prefer more impacting pictures, but let's see how it goes anyway.

That is an oddly shaped woman, I guess that is what I'm looking at. Anyway, nice job on the silhouette, and I really like the purple tone to the sky. What is new about your subject though? I can see the theme a lot of people are using with the sunrise, but your subject here isn't the sunrise as much as it is these two figures.

Nice image,color & silhouette. Looks slightly oversharp & it may have looked even better by avoiding small distraction in the bottom corner with more space given to the subject from top.

Very nice. The thick black border is very well suited.

beautiful silhouette of a sculpture. "purple" helps the shot too.

I love this one. The placement of the sun to get the silhouette is great. Good job.
