Creation Glory again! What a treasure! The varying hues of peach caused by increasing density & decreasing translucency make for an interesting study! Great Photo! However, the background is a little distracting.

Creation Glory again! What a shot! Nice touch catching the subject after a rainshower (either real or manufactured.) The varying hues of blue caused by increasing density & decreasing translucency make for an interesting study! Great Photo!

Not actually backlight! Reflection!

You nailed the assignment...Highlight subject from behind without making the subject a silouette. Smooth move using reflected light on the head. However, since half the figure is a silouette and the opaque aspect of the subject precludes translucence, the score is necessarily lower.

Great translucence! Nails the assignment!
Yet, I'm not really sure about the unique subject since clarity is true enough throughout.
I must admit though. My throat's starting to taste a little "acid." ;)

Isn't that a country song, "Here's Your Sign!" You could even make the case for this being a mathematical photo...Sign/Co-Sign! :)

Hey, you there! You aren't Bill Murray, are you? Didn't I just see you?...Didn't I just see you?...Didn't I just see you?...
Read my lips...That's prairie dog, not ground hog!"

I like this little fella! You really made him stand out with good use of backlight.

Natural Backlight

Great backlighting, but the subject is indistinct (not enough contrast perhaps.) I like the mood a lot, but the background competes with the subject enough to make the photo busy & unfocused.
SIMPLIFY! A different angle might help. I try to frame my photos through the lens,...but...even then I get photos that turn out differently than I saw them to be.
Still though...photography is consistently more accurate a sport than golf.
