Great photo, but I'm struggling to see how it interprets the theme

Not vast amounts of back-lighting, more balanced with side and front. Great work study however.

A great Portrait of a mechanic, showing him in his surrounds. You have managed, through great placement, to make him stand out and be the subject away from the clutter that is normal in a garage. However, the use of excessive fill light in this image has removed any backlight or Contre-Jour feel of it.

This is a really wonderful portrait -- love the detail, tones, lighting, the variety of color, and Francis's position (turned foot) -- but it doesn't use the technique. The lighting is clearly behind the camera, not the subject.

What a brilliant shot. Is that a MkI escort on the right? That mini looks like it may be there for some time to come eh lol.
