I really like your frame here joined with those two silhouettes, it looks really natural, I like colors in the background. the mood of the picture is very sunny, it is a very nice shot.

Great picture! I like these "tunnel pictures" but you have focus inside the tunnel instead of on a detail outside, nice!

Quite nice. I like the frame, the silhouettes and the blurred backgrond behind the girls. I just wanted the black frame and the girls were a little bit sharpen. Maybe it got unsharp when you reduce it for posting to TE. No more WS for today, sorry.

Nice sihouette you got here. It's very dramatic. With the door/tunnel effect and the blurred background It looks like these two are setting out to the great unknown and are ready for anything. Nice

Interesting shot, the tunnel's shape and the framing are great. Nice shot.

What a stunning composition. I love silhouette photos and yours is a fine example. I could see this framed and hanging in galleries. Did you get others in the same series?

really nice photo,Mario~
the cave beccame the natural frame for you to shoot,and the shadow shpaed good with two girls maybe working home...
if there were more legs shown out,it perhaps would be better?
cheers though,

Belle photo:le cadre et les silhouettes en font tout le charme.

Nice silhouettes in this irregular frame.
I like the dynamics of the picture with both girls tilting their shoulders to support their bag.

Wonderful capture, very nice composition here. The two silhouettes looks very good.

just picking your last contribution, Maria. You have a great, very personal, very versatile gallery, there is more than just an eye (and a sharp one at that) behind these pix of yours. This is the TE downside with the one shot thingo, that a shot can easily be missed or even critiqued, while the body of work fo the photographer, which tells really who he/she is is given less prominence. I see very few commments from us about members shots as portfolio. There are great shots that are unique, but i also thing the body of work does bring up uniqueness too.

Now i see the submitting date of this shot. I hope you added to your artistry since then.

Hi Maria
I like your photo very much.
The silhoutte works really well.
I have a similiar photo posted, Above the below.
I think our Idea for this photo are very much the same.
Best wishes Carmelo

Belo enquadramento com as jovens em silhueta e o fundo desfocado permitindo uma maior evidência do principal sujeito. Parabéns ..

Beautiful image, two beings who leave the dark to reach the light, the freedom. Greetings

Hi Mary,
Nices silhouettes,where were they going? A nice green place and a strangely gold colored water are at the end of thi tunnel,or maybe it's something else....
