There is some pretty horrible color noise in this photo. I would try a lower ISO or less processing to minimize this.

Hmmm... thought this was the backlight challenge not the litback challenge.

The left column being out of vertical makes the whole image appear tilted.

After the dive
by Beverage

Comment:
Good use of backlighting. Probably should have waited a little after the dive so there wouldn't be a pressure mark above her lip from the mask. At first glance it appears much like a mustache. I don't know why but my eyes are very drawn to the stretch marks. Not such a big deal as the photo has a very natural feel but still somewhat of a distraction.

The front is too well lit to get any worthwhile backlighting effect.

Interesting yet very odd looking. Looks as though there was too much contrast and sharpening adjustments then overly smoothed.

While the flare is an interesting idea it completely overwhelms the image without providing any aesthetic or emotional impact.

Not really sure of the backlighting connection here.
