It seems that Virily users would like to see some Shadows and Silhouette posts! This is now the new theme for the month of May! I would love to see everyone try to post at least one post about this topic.
1. Post silhouettes or shadows.
2. Post in Challenges.
3. Use Just for Fun in the title.
4. Use #jff hashtag.
Enjoy.
Last month the topic was trees. I loved all the posts everyone put in for this challenge. Here is the link: Just for Fun… Trees Challenge for April!

So are you ready for silhouettes or maybe some cool shadows??
Here are a few of mine and some fun facts about silhouettes.
Number 1
My pepper tree silhouette.
Silhouette definition: A dark shape seen against a light back round.
Number Two: Doberman
Fun Fact:
Before the age of the photograph, the silhouette was cut from paper or painted, and was the most affordable portrait that could be made. During the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century many people collected them.
Number Three: Man at the bay.
Fun Fact:
The man whom the name came from: Etienne de Silhouette was France’s finance minister under Louis XV and was notorious for both his frugality and his hobby of making cut-paper shadow portraits.
Number 4: Dogs and kids
Fun Fact:
The phrase, a la Silhouette came to mean “on the cheap”.
Have fun with this Challenge!
All are great for the challenge.
I love all the photos, but especially the first one of the pepper tree. What gorgeous colors surround it!
Thank you Barbara, I hope to see you join in!
I just did. I showed off my shadow selfies. Had hoped to get more one, but had trouble submitting and Natalie had to help.
Ah wonderful, I will look for them, and thanks a bunch, and thank you Nat!
This is really interesting, I just can’t keep up with the overall challenges right now. Cool though!
Thank you Doc, I totally understand, but you will enjoy the silhouettes and shadow stuff.
Oh yeah and just remember if you have a cool silhouette or shadow in one of the posts you do tag it!
I enjoy seeing them, will see if I find some and will share I promise!
That is a great idea Kim, I just posted about a tree and noticed it could also qualify for this challenge.
Great challenge for this month! Loved your photos 🙂
I just submitted my first post for this month’s challenge! Hope you’ll like it 🙂
Yay, I will go look for it, Thank you!
Stunning pictures, Kim! I am going to join very soon, I love the idea!
Thank you Ellie. Wonderful, I will look forward to it.
Always enjoy your photos and challenges. Love the silhouette of your Dove.
Thanks Carol, that was Kali. My sons first doberman. I hope to see you post for it soon.
These typos are frustrating but you know what I meant!
One of my first jobs was a typesetter and proofreader. I learned you can forget how to spell if you see a word spelled incorrectly enough times. giggles. It was easy carol. I don’t have a dove pictures, but Id like one.
Only very few of my members are available, most are still actively haunting here and there. I will order them to take action as “silhouettes and shadows” team when they are ready.
lol, I will look forward to it!!
Ready with your orders, commander!
Interesting and challinging post! Creative!
Thank you Elena. I hope to see you post for it.
