This isn't my photo ( it's Sascha Hüttenhain's found on photo.net ) but I was wondering if a photo this style would be allowed to use. Not a full silhouette but a large shadow still showing what the subject it. Would something like this qualify?:dunno

    I'm not in the jury for the top 10 but I would definitely vote... Assuming it is original of course.

    To my way of thinking (though I'm also not a judge) this would qualify for the spirit of "silhouette." Although the model is clearly nude, I don't think of this as a nude photo in the sense of "no nude photos." To me, it's all about intent.

    It's a gorgeous photo. . . .

    Bottom line is that if you feel Silhouette when you are about to post the shot.

    Do it (your shot of course).

    There is no strict "no nude" policy... in light of the photo referenced above, its OK. We have a "family/kid-safe" policy. Granted, everyone may have a slightly different take on that, but since I'm the host here I'll give you my take: I would have no problems permitting it into the challenge.

    As for whether it fits the theme, as a judge, I can't comment. Good luck!

    I think this both fits the theme and is a fantastic picture on its own!
