Nice silhouette to get us started.. I was afraid I was going to have to post some archive stuff for people to get inspired (I might yet anyway).

I like it as silouettes go.. maybe if more roof were cropped out to make it more of a panorama?

Heh.. no, but my friends refer to it as "that sinister picture" ... and most people tell me I'm nothing like that in person. :)

Erin: That's great.. love the colored rim lighting on him.

David: Good stuff. I especially like #3. The last one fits the theme best, I think, though... I like the tilt there, don't think it would work as well without that.
