Weekly Challenge #271: Silhouette

#271: Silhouette · 02:11 PM

Firstly many thanks for hosting last weeks challenge sealonsf. Some real nice entries last week so it came as a bit of a surprise to be picked out

This week’s challenge is ‘Silhouette’ - Not sure if this has been a subject in recent weeks/months so apologise if it has. I don’t think people need any examples/explanation for this one but have posted what I think is the only Silhouette shot I have in my collection. Perhaps if I see a few other great shots it will spur me on to try and shoot a few more.

This challenge will run until Tuesday, 14 January, midnight PST.

The fine print:
1. Post one photo (max 1024 X 1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single photo in this thread. If it's not obvious, explain what motivated you to submit the photo and how you feel it represents the weekly theme.
4.The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5.The judge will pick the winner, who will then host and judge the next week's challenge.
6.The challenge closes after seven days.This allows a day for the judge to pick the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung) DSLR is acceptable.
8. Photos can be from any time frame, not just the week of the current challenge.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge of the next week's challenge, the winner will PM the #2 winner and pass on the baton to that person to host and judge the next week's challenge.

I'll start... not exactly a different approach, but definitely a silhouette:

I only have about three images that fit this challenge and one of them I used a couple of challenges ago. I'm sure I've used this one before also but it was a very long time ago.

Hardly worth my entering this, given the superb entries so far. But I shot this earlier this winter on a bitter cold afternoon and haven't shown it yet.

Going through this post has been a string of heartbreaks. First I thought "I'll use one of the lighthouse sunset photos from this past weekend." At the first post, well, darn. So that was okay, because I have a great airplane silhouette. Scroll down a few posts -- muck. But, no major loss, because I have a superb windmill silhouette! So... FML. That's alright. I'll use that deadfall tree at the nearby openspace, great silhouette form with textured clouds and... nevermind.

So, before anyone posts a similar silhouette -- I don't want to water down my or your chances with a similar image -- here's my entry.
