lighthouse silhouette

[ISO/f/deltaT]

was tempted by a silhouette thread i read yesterday. i had no actual silhouette photos handy so i thought i could "make" one. any comments would be appreciated...

thanks

before:








after:





top layer is just exposure manipulation and lens blur
2 cloud layers colourized and graduated with a mask

nice edit

however i'd change a few things:
i would remove the light strip at the base of the light house and the few small light patches (top the windows?) as they spoil the silhouette look in my opinion.

Just my opinion and a few pointers

hey thanks for taking a look and commenting. i was thinking about that but thought it would be too much of a "cookie cutter" feel to the silhouette. i left it in to give a more "hard backlight" effect. i know these are not proper technical terms. what do you expect from a complete dilettante?
