SILHOUETTE. The proper definition of a silhouette is “the outline of a body viewed as circumscribing a mass.” In photography, often we achieve that effect by putting light behind the object whose silhouette we want to capture, effectively darkening out the features of the subject instead of highlighting them. My silhouette of the Colosseum in Italy I think still shows off the ancient landmark while bringing other details into focus.
Share a picture of a Silhouette with everyone!

New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Subscribe to The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS.
There will be some great entries for this one! My imagination is running wild, and I’m sure other bloggers will have the same creative impulses!
Great theme!

Silhouettes can be amazingly powerful given that, by definition, you can’t see any facial expressions. Looking forward to seeing some of the submissions!

Here is a favorite photo from a beloved family beach trip. I caught a ferris wheel at the beach in silhouette at the end of the day.

Hi there, truly an ingenious challenge. It was difficult for me to find photographs that would be a good match, but here are a few that I gathered from Yosemite Park and Lands End in San Francisco.
