LESSON: ON SILHOUETTES

One of the key points when it comes to silhouettes is the separation between compositional elements..
.
In other words, you want your silhouettes to be immediately recognized for what they are I.e. a person walking, a couple on a bench, people on the phone, all by a moored boat, etc. .
.
Quick recognition leads to better appreciation.

Another reason why this photo works so well is that it was shot from a slightly lower angle than that of eye level (from a boat). Thusly, the blue sky being reflected off the surface of the water adds a speck of color in an area that otherwise would be without any details.
