'Silhouette Photography'
Silhouette photography is all about capturing subjects so that they lack detail. The focus is on creating striking black shapes against a beautifully exposed background. It’s a technique that emphasizes the shape and form of the subject, resulting in minimalistic and graphic effects. Most creative and excellent images, were submitted.

The winners with the most votes are:
1st place : monkichi
2nd place: Marianne Siff Kusk
3rd place : Adolfo Urrutia

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions.
Thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Silhouette Photography'

Current contest theme is 'Benches'
Benches are everywhere but most people walk past them without a second thought. They quietly collect stories throughout the day: people waiting, resting, eating lunch, tying shoes, watching sunsets, or just taking a break for a few minutes.

This contest will end on Sunday the 27th of September at midnight.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.

Through nothing more than body language and the interplay of light, you have successfully woven every element into a cohesive whole that is incredibly powerful and meaningful. Congratulations to the winners. Your work proves that a story does not always need a face to speak.Best Regards
