Focus on Life - Silhouettes

I don't quite know where the last week has gone but here we are again for the Focus on Life challenge!  The subject is silhouettes and although I'm not sure if it fully meets the criteria it is about as silhouette-like as I could manage!
I added sepia tones and resisted the strong temptation to lighten it!   


I have posted another two versions of the same image on my blog over at 
Velvet Moth Photography if you fancy a look - I'd love to know which you prefer!

  15. This definitely has more silhouettes to it but I think I prefer the top one of the other two. I've just joined your photography blog, it's fantastic Diana. Well done

  16. What a lovely subject - especially against the backdrop of so many of us who selected stark tree branches. I like the texture in the second photo. Great post this week!

  18. Ooh, I love these - I wouldn't have thought of sepia for tulips - they're always so very bright, but I just love it, I'm always a sucker for sepia and there's less distraction from the bright color so the texture stands out more. I think I like the 2nd one best on your other blog, because I really like that line texture in it.

  19. gorgeous image - I love the sepia tones. Leaching out the colour really brings out the form and shape.
    Have a wonderful week, and thank you for stopping by my blog this week.
