Description This was the only shot I got of this little boy looking out the window of the Rivercat on a trip home from the city. It was just too good an opportunity to miss.

I bumped the contrast a bit, to make the silhouette really black, and cropped it square. I think that's about it!

As always, your comments are appreciated!

I love the fact that even though he's not smiling, he doesn't look altogether unhappy.Maybe.. longing?
I don't know, but I really love the contrast between the black and orangeyyellow out side of the window.

It made me smile and say 'aww'.

I your comments are always so thoughtful and considered. I think at the end of a long day he may have been getting a little weary, so longing might be a good guess!

I toyed with the idea of making the image completely mono, but I kind of like the orangeyyellow (I love the way you do that!) myself - it's a bit different from most silhouettes, where we try for a much more stark (ie, white/grey) background. I'm glad I left it that way!

And I'm glad it made you smile ...

Thanks, I'm really pleased with this one too! And I find it hard to come up with decent titles sometimes, so I appreciate the encouragement in that area!

And thanks for the !

I have the same problem too, thinking of a title that will get everyone looking at the pics...

I confess to trying a little practical joke when I named "Breaking Dawn", to try and lure any "Twilight" fan(atic)s ... I am slightly ashamed ... But still, it did get some nice attention anyway!

Silhouettes are some of my favorite shots to get.

Mine too - they are intimate, yet impersonal at the same time, so you can get detailed without being intrusive.

Yes, some of your best works are silhouettes (like your latest ones, which I have yet to comment, to my shame)!

And thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am very pleased with this, I must say, and such a lovely comment helps me to like it all the more! Thank you so much, dear niece !
