Silhouettes are beautiful. Period. And when you get a chance to shoot a silhouette of an interesting sculpture, tree or even a person don't let that opportunity pass you by. If you get a good backdrop for your silhouette shot that's like icing on the cake. I took this shot of a school playground sculpture near my place. It looked beautiful in bright sunlight by I felt it would look even better as a silhouette shot. I cropped the picture to provide a better frame and removed part of the sky and the dark background. By taking the shot at an elevation angle, making the sculpture span the natural gradient color of the background from orange to blue I hoped to give it a sense of towering into the sky even though the sculpture is only 10 feet in height.
