tree silhouette
Dark trunk shape
A tree silhouette is the dark outline of a tree seen against a lighter background, typically the sky at dawn or dusk.
The term emphasizes shape over detail—branches, trunk, and foliage reduced to a flat, shadowlike form: The tree silhouettes stood black against the sunset.
Tree silhouettes are common subjects in photography and decorative art.
