Comments for this Competition

Drama and depth can be evoked through images that use the technique of backlighting. The interplay of light and shadow, as when capturing the glow of a sunset filtering through a forest or the outline of a person against a bright horizon, can create a sense of magic and mystery. This is more than just a silhouette. It's a way to enhance an emotional aesthetic in photographs.
