"I'm a Little Teapot" but I don't pour worth beans.
So most of the time I make a nice flowerpot, but today
I make a nice black pot silhouette.

"The Black Kettle" aka "Tea Kettle"
Another name for Tea Pot.
It's a modern design further abstracted for more interest. But alas, it could not be identified by our voters, so down went the score.
:-((

I want the silhouette to contain more interest... something with more curves or interesting angles... Good idea, though.

This is a nice abstract/silhouette shot. I'm personally in love with the concept of silhouettes. Nice image overall but i definitely wouldn't have guessed its a kettle had your title not mentioned it.

I love this style of photo. I'm on 39 out of 70 and this is my favourite so far.

Great gradient going on with the orange backdrop, nicely done. The shape of the keetle does not really appeal to me. Also, without your title I would not have known what is was.

Interesting idea--nice background. Not quite recognizable, imo...

Nice silhouette

A good idea, but needs a little something more to add interest/drama.

Great colors, but I need more detail,or a full silhouette, to make this out as a kettle, my first thought was a couch...6

The silhouette would not be recognizable without the title. Therefore it's quite abstract, but not enough abstract for an abstract. I don't know if you see what mean, sorry fot not being clearer. But I would probably have gone for the full silhouette and increased the blacks (edge).

I'm just not seeing an identifiable shape of a kettle, and that little spot of orange dipping into the silhouette is a bit disconcerting. It's not a bad image, just not working for me.
