I could not decide between either topic so... we'll go with both. 
Silhouettes were done a long time ago, so I thought we could probably revisit them.
I'm looking for pictures of boats.. any kind..and silhouettes. The silhouettes can be of boats or any other subject matter.
**** Edited to add: Definition of Silhouette Via Wikipedia
A silhouette is the image of a person, an object or scene consisting of the outline and a featureless interior, with the silhouetted object usually being black. Traditionally, a silhouette is a form of artwork, the term originating in the 18th century and applied to portraits or other pictorial representations cut from thin black card.[1] Silhouette images may be created in any artistic media, but the tradition of cutting portraits from black card has continued into the 21st century.
From its original graphic meaning, the term "silhouette" has been extended to describe the sight or representation of a person, object or scene that is backlit, and appears dark against a lighter background. Anything that appears this way, for example, a figure standing backlit in a doorway, may be described as "in silhouette". Because a silhouette emphasises the outline, the word has also been used in the fields of fashion and fitness to describe the shape of a person's body or the shape created by wearing clothing of a particular style or period.
Judging will be next Thursday evening, August 25th.
