    Okay, so non of them meet the silhouette criteria, so what! at least we got our cameres out and used them. Here is my take.

    psmcn, krooks, meirvin are all:

    Contre-jour, French for 'against daylight', refers to photographs taken when the camera is pointing directly toward the source of light. An alternative term is backlighting.

    nitro's pic is a reflection of a shadow or silhouette, and pretty cool I might add.

    panda'a is a profile.

    Let's just have some fun here and put up some shots. If you want to get all technical about the subject then join www.DPchallenge.com where the shots are heavily regulated by moderators.

    Relax, I was just stating my opinion. It's not off topic or anything seeing how this is about sillhouette's. Heck i even voted for your picture. I think all the pictures are great.
    Sorry I don't get my camera out as much as you, I been very busy lately.

    I'm relaxed:) and thanks for voting. I hope to see a shot from you in the next round.

    I don't have a lot of time to shoot either so I have started taking my camera with me everywhere I go. Now it feels weird to not have it with me and people are getting accustomed to me having it. Sometimes I carry my P&S because it's pocket friendly.

    Cheers, Paul

    It's boring. haha it's under exposed, but you know that.
    mostly there's no subject, are you trying to show the sun or the tree?

    It's not bad by any means, but with my photography I focus on having a subject as much as I can, and not just showing people what a tree looks like in the sun :eek:
