The shapes are partially obscured by the trees. If you stepped forward and to the right you might have had a nice framing between the trees.

Your people look like paper cutouts and their outlines are oddly-shaped, particularly the smaller girl's hands and feet. It looks like your people weren't back-lit to begin with, but you individually selected them and darkened them down to turn them black. It's impossible to turn something that wasn't already back-lit into a silhouette without making it look artificial because there's no reason for them to be so dark.

The imagine is very blue. Blue clouds on blue skies, blue reflections on the statue. The composition is very plain, rigidly straight up-and-down and centered neatly in the frame and lacking any pizzazz.

It's a pretty sunset, but they happen all the time. A sunset photo generally needs something else in the foreground to lend some context, especially in a silhouette challenge. Maybe that's why the powerline in there, but it's a distraction more than a major element of the photo.

Great job of selecting a pose that makes beautiful lines as well as catching the lights just right to produce thin outlines. It's a shame but I'm sure a lot of people will say it's not a "true" silhouette and mark it down.

A beautiful shape and lovely colors. The ripples in the bird's shadow are especially beautiful and if you had been able to have more of it in the frame it would be even better. Personally I'd prefer a little less extra space and a less square image.

The water droplets lend a lot of action to the scene. The splayed feathers make a really nice, clean silhouette.

The lighting on the lines in the pavement is excellent. The image would be improved if the pedestrian didn't look like he had one leg and didn't overlap with the bollard, but you can't always pick your poses.

A simple concept but well thought out and executed. Create use of background lighting rather than shooting directly into the light source to create the silhouette. The angle and cropping lend tension to the scene and work very well with the concept.

Nice use of a large enough depth of field to give a clean outline to the silhouette.
