This was taken at the DPC London get together. We were next to the Cutty Sark, and I noticed the chimney pots on the skyline. I exposed the shot for the sky, rather than the houses, then adjusted the levels to make the buildings as black as possible.

Nice, like the capture of the clouds

I like the silhouettes here. When the challenge is over, you can edit out that annoying spot at the top right. (I won't deduct any points for that).

Good seeing to find these chimney pots and antennas in repetition. Clouds and blue sky worked in your advantage as well. Nice! 9

Nice silhouette, and I love the clouds.

Fantastic shot! I love the parallels on this one! Well executed... have no complaints here! Oh wait.. that small black dot on the top rightish side! Maybe cropping it lower would have made the trick since spot editing is a no-no. :D Good luck on this one! 8
