Well I was excited that I had a wedding during this challenge so I could use one of those pics in the challenge. I took a couple of backlit shots like this with the challenge in mine and was really happy with how this turned out. Sadly the last few times I thought a photo would do really well it tanked and when I thought it was ok it would do fairly well so what do I know? Anyways I really like it so I'm putting it up.

The author's intent was clear and the use of light is creative, unfortunately the overall impression is of unnatural light which washes out the entire image and creates a negative impact. It might have been better if the author didn't attempt to be artsy, but create a direct shot from the back of the bride into the light with a lower aperature setting to create a halo effect without the odd and uncomfortable angle. A good effort and a demonstration of direct lighting, just a little over the top trying to create an "art" image.

The dress seems to melt away into the light Good use of over exposure

Love the folds of the dress. I find the rest of the shot over blown.
