Now this is backlighting!! I wish more people would bother to take a look at all the images and see this example. The hair like strands on the pods are nicely done and you can even make out the legumes forming in the pod!!
Well done.
Perhaps next time try to see if you can get the top of the pods/bottom of the vine to show up a little better. This would prevent the blackness of the background from melting into that area and detracting from it.
The backlighting works so well here. It gives a softness to the furry edges of the pods.....You can even see the tiny seeds inside the pods, well done.
