I feel the challenge this week should be the shadow as the subject of the picture. Don't get me wrong, i realy like high contrast backlit photos and the star filter is a great touch.
The sun flare in this photo is excellent.. I also love the way the hand is silhouetted in this image. The only improvement that I think is possible in this photo would be a vertical crop to remove the extra darkness from both sides... great shot!
Really nice, maybe a little too much framing, but otherwise wow. I like the sun-star effect. Shot works well in B&W. Photo 9 Creativity 8 Shadows 9 total 9
