Wonderful shot, great color, exposure and contrast, but it is out of focus.

Now this is backlighting!! I wish more people would bother to take a look at all the images and see this example. The hair like strands on the pods are nicely done and you can even make out the legumes forming in the pod!!
Well done.

Perhaps next time try to see if you can get the top of the pods/bottom of the vine to show up a little better. This would prevent the blackness of the background from melting into that area and detracting from it.

Wow, nice translucent and rich green colors, love the "hairy" detail. Good use of space

The backlighting works so well here. It gives a softness to the furry edges of the pods.....You can even see the tiny seeds inside the pods, well done.

hairy beans...great

The backlighting really brings out details we might not usually notice. Those "hairs" are perfect for this challenge. Wish the image was sharper.

Seems a tad out of focus but I like the composition and the detail you've captured in the fringe of the pods.

This is pretty and fits the challenge well but it seems out of focus.

Brilliant use of backlit concept and design elements and color really working well. Focus appears a little soft.

Focus seesm to be a bit off on this one. The pod stems are quite blurry.
