Backlit photos, photographs where the border, outer edges or overall shape of the subject(s) are highlighted. Difficulty: No people/animals. Shadows or reflections can't be the primary focus of your photos.
From the shadowy depths, Barracuda suggested this theme. |

| "Inanimate" obviously excludes people/animals (and they're also explicitly excluded), but on what side do trees/foliage fall? |

Quick question; what about silhouettes the look like shadows?
(wouldn't use this particular one again, but have other ideas with the same technique; also don't know how it would play with the voters) |

| Rav, knowing the process, I'd say you're within bounds. |

Barracuda, inanimate can mean "not animated", as in motionless, but it's also used to mean lifeless. Trees/foliage are one of those but not the other, so what was your intent? I can work with either definition, just need to know which one. |

If trees are in, this will make life WAY easier.... nearly froze my fingers off stopping twice this morning to shoot a a statue and a sculpture. Tree silhouettes I got plenty of.
Granted, I was biking at the time, so there wasn't any chance of me warming up anyway, but having to unglove twice didn't help at all... |

| I recall in the theme thread we decided that trees were in to keep it as open as possible. |

I'm whooped. I've stayed up too late all week long. Anybody mind posting OBO while I go to bed a few hours early?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/orionid/8018532398/
Just caption it "Stereotypical Oregon Coastal Rock Silhouettes"
Many thanks to whomever! |

| Nevermind, I found one. Not sure it's the "architected" means of doing so (had to dig through page source), but I found a link. |

I just started a thread over here: http://farktography.net/index.php?module=forum&file=viewtopic&t=3891 with a question that's VERY important to me, and has a bit of urgency (and relevance to the fact that today's contest day).
Any/all help will be appreciated mightily.

| It's a change of pace to have three new-ish photos; all were taken within the past month and two within the past week! For reference, if you recognize my tree-with-benches shot, it's the same scene, but a more recent picture (yesterday, in fact) as used in "Parks" |
