Silhouette
The subject shows as a black shape against a bright sky. As the exposure is set for the bright evening sky, the person, buildings, lamp and tree turn into flat black shapes with no detail and only the sky stays bright.

How the movement works
When the shape and pose should carry the picture, against a sunset or a bright window.
- 01Scene 1: a head-and-shoulders figure in front of a horizon at y 150 (head centre x 270, y 78, radius 29 px, no face or hair).
- 02Sky: #FAF9F7 → #FFEDC4 at the top and a #FFCF73 band near the horizon (y 92–150)
- 03Everything but the sky becomes #2A2D36, the far hills #4A4546; the figure #22252D
- 04Sun: radius 20 px at x 404, sinking from y 60 to y 128, half hidden by the hills
- 05Top-right readout: ±0.0 EV → −2.0 EV
- 06Timing: the effect comes in from 0.4 s to 1.4 s, holds until 4.0 s and is gone again by 4.8 s (one pass = 5 s, cubic ease-in-out (about cubic-bezier(0.65,0,0.35,1)))
Prompt
Silhouette of a person jumping on a beach at sunset; expose for the sky so the person and the palm tree turn pure black.
