Weekly Challenge #77 .. Silhouette
Posted By: Bramela, 11-05-2008, 12:20 AM

Well after the surprise of winning the Men and Women at Work competition, I have come up with
Weekly Challenge #77 : SILHOUETTE.

As usual the Rules are as Follows :


1. Post ONE photo (max 1000x1000).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme. It can be color or B&W, your choice.
3. You can offer as much or as little additional information as you wish, but if you have to explain it, it probably doesn’t communicate what you are trying for.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.

This is a flock of ducks that took off in front of me while paddling on the St. Lawrence river last month.

I like that shot, it looks like one of the machines from War of the Worlds is about to zap that swan.

I had a few I like and Gary even suggested one I shot of a punch of boats with a sea gull in the picture but I choose this one as it is one of my favorites. JIMBO

I have one, it's no where near as spectacular as others, but it is one of my very first attempts at a silhouette

Jimbo, you're killing me this week.

Mel, your shot is probably the most spectacular considering the content and it will be remembered long after the others are forgotten.
