In the backlighting challenge I had a few comments by voters like "Where is the backlighting?"..."I don't see how backlighting enhances the subject" on this shot

So, I uploaded two more shots just to demonstrate that the shot was in fact backlit and how it enhanced this subject. The first shot is a backlit shot of one of the fish in the original shot, and the second is a frontlit shot, also of one of the fish in the original shot. One can clearly see in the backlit shot how the light actually almost shines right through the fish making it's flesh glow a pink color and how in the frontlit shot the fish appears to be a different color.





The vendor selling these fish in the market was really kind! She hung this string of fish out in the sunlight for me. I spent about 30 minutes shooting them. It was a cold morning in the open market. About 10 minutes into shooting, she brought me a cup of coffee! Totally impressed!
