B&W Challenge No. 42 - Backlighting

Thanks for keeping this going Alexr,

Ornamental Grass

And one more - a backlit teasel (and a few spider webs)



Tony

I don't take many backlit photos. I did remember this image taken in the Fall of this year. Hopefully I will get out to take something for this challenge before the end of the month.
Edited in LR with a preset from David duChemin.

Thank you all for sharing your images, and wow you haven’t disappointed with your quality. Some immediate thoughts that spring to mind on looking at the selection so far.
pontiac1940 You say it didn’t come out as planned; well I can’t imagine what was in your mind because it has come out excellently. I love how the black background makes it hang in the air, the vase and roots glow, and then the starbursts are the icing on the cake. And your subsequent post shows wonderful variety including how it can be wide landscapes not just close subjects.
fotofrank The lighting makes those grasses luminous, and then the trailing leaf fills the frame with interest. Stunning.
tonyw Much as I like the silhouetted tree and great sky, I just love the teasel with its artfully placed webs and sufficiently lit for the detail on the front.
hmca Great example of the starburst coming through, and a really strong vignette to centre the image.
Peterj A perfectly placed light source and great detail to still be able to pick out the cactus prickles.
ritage I love how you’ve positioned the dark pillars amidst the lighter columns and framed Diana with her bow.
srmoment Great image which works really effectively as it retains the sense of fun that the dog is having and we share.

I like them both....two different feelings. If I were to choose on to frame I'd probably go with the B/W.....but that's just my bias showing I think.
