Thanks so much Debra. This was taken at a BP photo club shoot at Venice Beach. I was so thrilled with the images you took in HI, especially "Kona Waters III" We will be going to Hawaii in June and hope to find some interesting material. Can't wait. #5490674

Tiia, this was a trial to see if this technique would work. I like the way it turned out. It seems more intense than a simple silhouette exposure. #5490685

Dramatic silhouette with strong implied story. Well done. #5515513

Thanks so much Irene. I'm tempted to post another version of this image uncropped. I think it may be better. #5516221
