my challenge from @jacob89 is "to take a portrait with the subject silhouetted against an interesting background". Really spooky, 'cos I took this with my iPhone last night - before I got the challenge - more silhouettes to come

[Paula W]

Perfect way to meet your challenge, great silhouettes and processing. Is that actually someone in the sea???

[Jocasta]

@paulaw yes - their father - all nice and snug in wetsuits, I hope

[Lisa]

This is gorgeous Jocasta - love silhouettes - perfect for your challenge - even if you didn't know it at the time! : ) fav

[amy spada]

That IS weird that you took it before knowing what your challenge was! Telepathic :) It's also a very nice image!

[Kate Goring]

Oh, oh, oh! I love this Jocasta. Such incredible colours and silhouettes. FAv.

@jacob89 Hi - my first silhouette - great challenge

[Cazla]

Really interesting shot and great response to the challenge. Lovely tones in the sky.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Very dramatic background.

[Penny Price]

Interesting sky. They look cold.

[Devon]

Very cool shot! Love the colors!!

[Jan Penny]

Terrific shot.

[Linda]

Fav. What an atmosphere and great silhouettes. Even better that you had it in the bag without even knowing it.

[Jacob]

@jocasta Wow - very impressive

[Sue Rose]

Love the light on the sea and that foreboding sky. Was this taken with Hipstamatic? Great shot as always Jocasta.

[Jocasta]

@suesmith I always have my phone with me and the light was amazing - yes, it was hipstamatic - it really enhances skies - then with a tweak in ColorEfex -

[Sean O'Neill]

This is full of juxtaposition. Golden light and silhouette. Flare and darkness. Then the sea an dthe figures are squeezed between heavy cloud and the beach. It is brilliant. Love it, and because I wouldn't know how to take a shot like this, its a fav.

[Jennifer]

Gorgeous!!!! Love the tones and light, the silhouettes and the nostalgic feel. Definite fav.

[Jeff]
