Poll question: Silhouettes silliness

One might think that because Silhouettes was my suggestion for the upcoming contest theme, I'd already decided on my entry. One would be very much mistaken.

1. Grenadier Pond

2. Windvane

3. Crucified Woman

4. Skyline

5. By Taylor Creek

1. I went with #3, but I didn't care for the title

But you're the Artist and you can call it whatever you want. Maybe we should get Nance in here to discuss this. :7

2. She'll only venture in to look at Joe Wilson pics

The title is the title of the sculpture. The artist is Almuth Lutkenhaus. Needless to say, it was a very controversial statue, not least for its title.

3. Well my ability to "read" art is totally screwn

:silly:

I saw a dancing woman. Maybe because I didn't want to "see" the woman projected by the title.

4. I liked 1 and 5...

...but, if you decide to go with 2 (as most people are suggesting), you might want to submit a new version with less JPEG compression. I'm seeing a lot of pixilization in the sky above the vane on my monitor.

5. Thank you!

That's a good point. If I use that one, I'll have to scan it from scratch.
