Hi everyone

I took this photo a couple of nights ago because I thought the silhouette was interesting. Kind of reminded me of Harry Potter. Let me know what you think of it. :D

Thanks
Genista

A few jpg artifacts in the sky there. The colour is a bit drab, and I'm sure this could be cropped better. But well done for trying LittleB. :D Keep it up! :)

I can definitely see a Whumping Willow style tree, how late was it when you shot this ? Perhaps shooting this a little earlier would of provided more contrast between the light and shadow ? Nice shot keep them coming (kick Doug of the camera if need be :wink: )

It has a jackson Pollock graphic quality to it. I agree with Craig, if you had shot it a tad earlier when the sky had a bit more colour it would have provided a touch more cotnrast.

Having never seen Harry Potter (I have been living under a rock :shock: ) I can't comment on that point. :)

Thanks Craig, I took this photo on Friday night at 9.40pm. The overcast sky was lit up by the city lights and created this silhoutte. I thought it looked great so I quickly went and grabbed the camera. This is pretty much as I saw it. :)
