Would've been very beautiful in B&W

There is too much detail visiable for this to be considered a sillhouette. This is a great example of back lighting though.

Love the shot. It's not a strong silhouette, but if it were, it wouldn't be much of a flower. So, given the subject matter, I think this is the best you could do.

This is a great backlit scene, well spotted, the exposure and the composition are good. The fence is a good contrast to the natural flower. I think however that because the fence is black that most voters may consider this not a silhouette...

nicely backlit, but not silhouetted enough for me.

I like the backlighting showing through the flower, it's pretty, but for silhouette, which is the topic, there shouldn't be any visible detail in the subject, it should be completely dark.

Very nice image, however, I am struggling with the main object not being a Silhouette, as there is far too much detail in the flower. <5>

Gorgeouos composition. But I am sure many people would have commented already that this is not a silhouette so far as silhouette definition is concerned (for the flower) BUT, the silhoutte of the fencing is fine. Bumping.

too much detail for a silhouette, so low score. sorry. Nice flower photo though.

Interesting variation on the theme. I was expecting to see all black silhouettes and I'm pleased to see an infusion of color that still fits the challenge. This could possibly benefit from a tighter crop, maybe a little off the top & bottom. You've captured beautiful texture and detail in the petals.

Too much detail, meter the backround, increase two stops and try it again.
