I would try cropping about 1.25" off the top for a stronger composition.

Beautiful flower... I can't get over how much it looks like a drawing or painting. Did you use a filter in PS or PSP to get that effect?

Great example of backlighting... love the simplicity of this entry. Great shot on the flower, I like the black background and in this case the border adds to it as well. Very nice. :-)

Waiting....

The use of b/w truly enhances this photo - I couldn't even imagine liking it as much in color. Everything about this image speaks to me, the little girl is just perfect, right down to the placement of her feet. It needs to rotated slightly to the left (CCW). I can't really explain why, but this just doesn't speak 'backlighting' to me... regardless of that - excellent photo for emotive and composition.

Clever! Not sure if I'm a fan of the background color - definately meets the challenge. I've spent a lot of time trying to decide if like the image or the title better.

Sunny leaf

I like the amount of detail on the leaf. It might have been sharpened just a bit too much, but that could also have been intentional. Good lighting and color.

I think this photo is awesome. The backlighting here is subtle, I like that. The storm brewing in the background adds a lot to look at. I like your choice of b/w also. Nice work! :-)
