That table is really neat to look at. I like the image. The composition is nice. Not to be a nit picker, but it does sort of bug me that the challenge is backlight and the light in this image seems to all come from the side. This did not change my scoring by any means because I still think it is a great shot.

Now when they said "backlighting"... :-) Seriously, this is a well conceived and executed photo with excellent lighting. My personal preference would be to make the subject larger and move it to the top left of the frame (essentially cropping out most of the black), but the way you've done it has a lot of interesting qualities as well. Nice job!

Like the shapes, the curves, the contrasting sharp straight line, the semicircular shading, the balance. Could have done without the big white border, it detracts.

Wow, this would make a great large scale print... Techincally rim lighting, not backlighting, but heck, this is not the sort of thing I expected to see for this challenge. A 9 for me...

This is a very pretty image, but does not really portray back lit to me. It seems lit from the side, and there could be more light on the back itself. I really like this picture, but it just doesn't say backlit to me. Maybe I'm being too literal.

Very nice. Did you try zooming and/or cropping a bit closer? An excellent subject which seems to get lost somewhat in all that space.

Great lighting, very subdued...juxtaposition of the human form with formed metal in a sparse space is very nice.
