 This was taken at my fiancee's cousins wedding. The room where the reception was held had a lot of sunlight coming in so even the people sitting at our table were silhouetted. Rather than trying to use flash to "fight" the lighting conditions I decided to use the natural light.

Post processing wasn't much. I rotated and cropped. I cloned out some stray hairs and a distracting blob over his shoulder. I adjusted levels to brighten the background a bit. Sharpened a little bit.

Great silhouettes that say so much about their faces. I gave this a 7.

I love the silouettes in this. It's so much more interesting than if you could see the details in their faces.
