| I'm new to the site and decided to take a look at what kind of photos were entered in the first Backlighting challenge before I began shooting for Backlighting II. I came across this photo and my jaw was practically dangling by a thread. The colors are surreal and intense, the composition is lovely, and the overall effect is inspiring. I really like this photo. :) |

excellent colors, very sharp, great air bubbles, top 10 if not better!
Congrats on a great shot!
But it's in poor taste to post your out-take before the challenge is over (especially when it's VERY obvious which is yours)
Still a nice shot Damian. |

| I tried photographing flowers in water with the light underneath. I wish I had thought of this angle. Ended up with an outdoor shot for the entry. My only suggestion to improve the photo would be to crop it in such a way that the overexposed petals at the top of the photo were left off. When I scroll up enough to "crop" them, the composition still looks good with the part of the flower that holds the petals (don't tell anyone I'm a teacher and don't know what that's called!!) squarely on one of the thirds. I'm also wondering how you got such a nice shot through glass! Good luck. |

| Super theme! Good shot. Is it a bit oversaturated? Or did the water do that? Never mind, whatever, it's a fine, original take on the challenge. 10 |
