Challenge: Contre-jour (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Tamron AF 70-210mm f/2.8 LD for Canon EOS
Location: Oktibbeha Lake
Date: Apr 3, 2007
Aperture: f/7.1
ISO: 200
Shutter: 4 sec
Date Uploaded: Apr 3, 2007

 Shot in a hurry. The weather wouldn't cooperate for my original idea so I took this last minute about 30 minutes before the submission deadline. Also got pulled over and wrote up by the highway patrol for 80 in a 65 on the way to take the picture which rushed me even more.

Editing included crop, desaturation, sharpening, curves adjustment, resize, and save for web.

I dont think contre jour is supposed to use fill in flash as much as this IMHO, I would have bracketed down a stop or two on the flash. I like the highlighting on the edges, but it is overpowered by the flash

I̢۪m just not feeling that this is within the Contre-jour technique. Nice shot just not what I think when I̢۪m looking for Contre-jour.

as the pair is brightly lit on the viewers side, the lamp in the background can't be the main light-Source
