I am really not seeing the backlighting here. The back of the lines of the seed pod appears to be in shadow while all the highlights appear to be on the front.

this photo is technically very good (lighting, focus, etc.). I can't get into the subject very much.

Excellent shot! How did you light it? I'm curious.
