This one really made me scratch my head. I'm struggling with this as a backlighting entry. I just can't seem to get my head around this being an image demonstrating backlighting. My brain keeps telling me "Reflection. It's a reflection". Curious to see the score and comments this image will have received.
Interesting framing. The vignetting, possibly from a polarizing filter, distracts from the frame had it not been there I would have rated this much higher.
Nice color, interesting reflection, even like the vignetting. Wish there were more backlighting effect to fit the challenge or that it were the Shapes challenge, but I like it a lot.
