Hi Tina,
a great image but it just needs a slight bit more attention to make it a true silhouette. If you open it up in Photoshop and choose image / adjustments / selective colour. Then from the red dropdown box choose black and slide the black slider across to around 15%, this will knock back the darker colours in the silhouette, without adjusting the backdrop and will add to the effect. Just a thought

Hi Tina. Nice silhouette. In my oppinion I would like to see the bright area in the bottom right corner to be cloned in black as I find it distracting. Wouls also staighten the horrizon. I love the composition and color of the sky though. Art
