Focusing on Life:Sihlouette

Our Focusing on Life this month is minimalist. This weeks prompt is silhouette. Take a picture into the light and get a silhouette. I chose to use the trees in my front yard. I like them silhouetted against the sunset. The little bit of color adds to the photo for me. Even though it was really cold here I went out several days and took photos. To see the other participants silhouettes please visit Sally's blog at http://thestudiosublime.com/

    The subtle silhouette of the trees against the gentle colours is really effective. Good job.

      Thanx Diana I am glad that you like my photo. It was really cold -50 to -60 wind chills. The coldest days we have had in 20 years was last week.

    Seeing all that snow makes me cold! Love the warm colors in the background, too.

      Thanx Jen it was really cold. I went out several days but I didn't stay out very long.

      Thanx Bonnie I felt uninspired just taking tree silhouettes but I am pleased with the results.

      Thanx Lola As I sit and bead I get to watch gorgeous sunsets quite often. Sunsets are a favorite photo subject for mine.
