      Happy to hear that! After one year running this event now, I find it's so cool people want to join in still after all this time. It encourages me to strive on with the idea. You're most welcome with a contribution and I'll make sure to include one or two picks of my choice from your set in the final community compilation that will be released a few days after deadline...

      I like that village shot too, mostly because I've always loved landscape scenes of any kind even if I've got 300+ characters made for this game by now!

      Have fun giving yourself a challenge and good luck!

      Many thanks, Izzy! I wanted to do something that would be somewhat more technical this time, even if silhouettes are basic stuff. They can give you some really cool results too!

      I've always like silhouettes myself, so this is a fun theme for me too...although I wish I had the time to include more new stuff, but it turned into a mix instead. To have 20 images ready for each theme release is starting to worry me a bit, I can't keep up with my playing!

      Oh yeah!

      Of course it's okay! The whole idea is for you guys in the community to do something together while I gently guide you in a certain direction with my themes...

      If this intrigues you, then make a contribution. You're more than welcome to join in!

      And thanks!

    This sounds fun. I've got a question though -- this is the first time I've seen one of these -- how do I submit a photo?

      Simply make a regular post as you would do normally - either it's one image, a few or a whole set of them - and name the upload "15 theme - Silhouette". That way I know it's a contribution and I will also be able to search for the title once I start making the compilation. I will decide which one (or two) images will be presented in the final collaboration set - which I will also put together - and then I upload the whole thing with links back to the original screenarchers who were involved a few days after deadline.

      Glad to hear you find it interesting. I've been doing this for almost one year now and people still enjoy the event. It can also be a bit of a personal challenge for you if you're "stuck" on what to snap images of. This will help you spark some imagination again.

      Welcome onboard!

    Wow ... this is a theme to my liking So many possibilities ... I have to think about a focus

      I had a feeling a few screenarchers here would like this theme and you're certainly one of them, Heike. You've done some fascinating silhouette shots in your earlier sets before, often with the help of strong contrast or heavy DOF effects, so this is something you can do expertly. To tell a story in this style might be a thinker though, but perhaps a few silhouette shots within the tale is enough...if you don't want to really challenge yourself and make a whole puppet show told only with black shapes and contours. That would be something, but it requires a lot too. We'll see what people come up with, but I know you will deliver some great shots, should you choose to take part in the 15th theme...

    Great idea. Infact, can be quite challenging

      Some things should be challenging, to keep people on their toes!

      These images can also come forth just out of nowhere, so keep your eyes peeled while playing, and you never know what will turn up...

    hahaaa this is more than great, awesome theme, love it and can't wait to see what everyone will come up with. This will be for sure a little highlight for me, too Already have 3 uploaded sets for this theme...^^'

    Also great invitational images, Rick! Diverse collection of thoughtful images, even with landscapes fitted for this theme, which i never really considered. Also the last image seems like a "raw" image from Izzy

      Sounds like you're all set already then, Alex!

      I do like taking silhouette shots myself and I wanted to add a theme with a technical angle since we've had so many about the true beauty of this game as well as some meant more or less for storytelling and atmosphere. This one will be rather open, since there's no real theme about the theme Instead, almost anything goes as long as it's presented in the silhouette style. Should be interesting or at least I hope so...

      Glad you like the invitation shots! It turned out to be a mix of old shots and some additional new ones. The very last shot is actually showing a Roc - a gigantic legendary bird - but I can see it's quite close to Izzy's favorite, the Zephyr dragon...

      I wanted more and newer screenshots for the presentation, but I also wanted to release this theme, so luckily I had a few old shots regarding this theme available. I think it will be a very interesting compilation in the end and hopefully people will dare themselves to try this even if it's not something they do normally. Personally, I do like the silhouette style of images!

      Thank you, Magdalena!
