This is another one of my fails that I really liked. I'd like to learn how to do this intentionally. This is how you do silhouettes right?

All you need for a sillhouette is light behind your subject and no flash.
This is nice shot...failure or not, I really like it.

Totally agree with Leona... its not a failure, its a total success

Just LEARN how to do it, keep playing with your camera... that way you wont be thinking its a failure...

Thank you for the kind words. It's nice to get positive feedback.

So, to get a silhouette you just have to be shooting into the sun with your subject in front? Oh spiffy! I'm so gonna have to try this! Thanks!
