Front Lit Back

Image Critiques Weekly Challenge
1

I went back to some older files and reworked this image of a single Queen Anne’s Lace for this ‘Backlight WC’. I remembered this image and never knew what to do with it till this challenge came along. This is a back view of a frontlit subject so I’m assuming it fits in around-about way.

Hey Mike, To me, backlit means that the subject is between the light and the camera, so this definitely fits. The square crop fits the subject very well with the glowing flower edges and radiating stems making a nicely dynamic view. Getting most of the stem sharp is a good bonus.
