I would like to use some ballerina silhouettes in one of my creative images.
Does anyone know where I can get some free and not infringe on someone's copyright.....
or does anyone here have such an image they don't mind me using?
Pat

Thanks. I will check this out. Copyright is so confusing on some of these free sites.

You can also make your own; grab some free images from pixabay or wherever and fill the image with black. For example: | Original | Silhouette |

Here is one more possibility -- Custom Shapes (.csh files). Photoshop Vector Dance Shapes and Silhouettes (FREE). They need to be installed in two separate folders in Elements, located in different paths. 1. To access the custom shapes through the Custom Shape tool (as well as through the Cookie Cutter tool), install them here: C:\ Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements x.x\Presets\ Custom Shapes
2. To access the custom shapes through the Graphics panel, install them here: C:\ ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\x.x\Photo Creations\ shapes

Wow this is very creative indeed. The swan could be dancing with the chorus or conducting them or maybe a bit of both.

Thanks...I am glad you liked this image!
Sepiana one ballerina silhouette was from gordon johnson of pixabay. The others were free clipart, many from pixabay. ....I forgot to acknowledge the silhouette sites here in this note, but I did remember to do so on my Flickr site.
I copied the silhouettes to my final background layer (which I create from many backgrounds which I have created) and then changed the opacity to multiply or soft light, reducing the opacity percentage so that the silhouettes just show in the background.
When I first took this image, the swan looked like it was dancing and so the idea for 'swan lake'.......
