NIce backlighting, but unfortunately everything that is backlit is a silhouette.

The buildings are a bit dark ... on a different monitor, this looked almost like a plain silhouette.

I really like this shot. Nice framing with the use of the arch, detail in the buildings and their postioning is excellent.

I like this image. Unfortuantely, the harsh light creates more of a silouette rather than backlighting.

Has potential but a silhouette which was against the rules in this challenge so doubt it will do very well.

Everything is silhouetted. But it is a lovely shot.

Labas! Good pic, just a bit too dark to see the nice detail of the university. Sekmes!

Very beautiful and serene, but it doesn't meet the challenge (no silhouettes!).

I like the image but had to knock off a point because the rules state "the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting."

Awesome clouds; buildings are too dark though.

the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting.
