Nice photo, almost like the pale figure is 'lighting' the darker foreground one

This is quite the interesting photograph, and the smoke looks pretty cool. The only thing that bothers me is the man in the background; he clashes with the smoke.

This is a good quality image, one that stands out from the rest of the bunch. The lighting, composition and story all work in harmony together.

I don't know if this India or where, but what an amazing capture of local color and culture. The composition is outstanding, as is the color and clairty. Excellent!

Incredible image.

Love the smoke illuminated from behind. Good DOF and light to highlight the subject - daring and unusual subject in a challenge full of still lifes.

i've seen very few photos taken where smoke enhances it as it does here.
01/12/2006 02:54:06 PM
Sorry, but I can't see the backlighting..? Cool pic anyways.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Backlighting. (1) for not following directions.
01/11/2006 04:59:27 PM
not backlit really, its all lighted up just with his back with a bit more light, rather unfair submit
01/11/2006 12:35:01 PM
what is Sadhu??
01/11/2006 09:37:36 AM
Not really sure what he is smoking, but based on his friend, he might want to cut back. His friend smoked all the color out of his face!!! Nice image ;-)
01/11/2006 07:18:11 AM
I think this will be at top one
01/11/2006 06:06:47 AM
great shot, but I can't see the relevance to backlighting in it
01/11/2006 02:01:55 AM
Having a hard time distinguishing the backlighting in this shot. But I think it's awesome nonetheless and am scoring it high. Great detail and colors here.
