Great shot. Only one nitpick point. I do not know what you process with, but if possible to pull the vertical lines perfectly vertical.

A fun shot. :thumbsup:

My nitpick would be to increase the contrast for the carpeting in the foreground.

I like the pattern/texture being present in the floor/carpeting. Lends a nice visual contrast to the starker silhouettes.

The 'character' at far left is a bit amorphous. But if it is an 'un-staged' pic ...prolly nothing to do about that.

The character at far right is also catching some light on her(?) head, maybe from the outside wall reflecting on it..?? All black/silhouetted would look better to me.


That said . . .I really like it overall.

I like it! & if you were gonna do anything to it I would do the contrast a bit like Kelly said.

I think the image has tons of contrast as it is. That's just my take. I would prefer a tighter crop. The subject is the people and their shadows. The blank space above the people adds nothing to the image and the part where the carpet goes completely black adds nothing so it's not needed in my opinion.. I looked at a horizontal crop and I liked that as well as a tighter vertical crop. That's my take on the image.

Nice silhouette! I especially like the shadows on the floor. Very well done IMO

^Edit: In reply to Shadowfixer, I personally think the negative space is fine. The image has enough of a mysterious quality as is, the negative space adds to it. I would see it being a problem if your subjects only took up 1/8th of the image :P
