DPChallenge: A Digital Photography Contest
 
Challenge Details
Backlighting V
An Open Challenge using the Advanced Editing VII rules.

Description
Backlighting is the idea of shining light at an object from behind, or lighting areas behind the object you want to highlight. You can photograph anything you want, but the use of backlighting to enhance the photo is key. There are two catches this time: (1) The subject should not become a silhouette because of the backlighting, and (2) you should not include wine or drinking glasses in your entry.
