From the challenge description: "...Here's the catch: the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting."

Nice image although I think this will suffer from being a "silhouette" in the comments. Good luck.

I love the effect, yet try as I might, I can't find any detail in the face to keep it from being a sillouette. 5

If the guidelines did not discourage silhouette shots, I'd give this photograph a 10 . . . lighting, shape, motion, depth . . . stunning and beautiful.

So simple but completely effective! I can almost feel the warm night breeze...what a great mood this image conjures up...nicely done.

Your subject is in sillhouette.

Sorry though this is a really nice image it was clearly stated in the challenge that it was not to be a silhouette.

Love the transparency of the hair

Great lighting, and good composition with a subtle diagonal between the shoulder on the view's right to the tips of the blowing hair on the upper left. Abstract, but meaningful. I really enjoy this.

weird but good

good title, i like the photo but ..."Here's the catch: the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting"...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like what you have done with the backlighting, unfortunately you were not meant to cast a silhouette
  Photographer found comment helpful.

One of my fav's here very unique and interesting capture, hope to see you on the front page. I like to see someone taking a chance by doing things that are very artistic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a beautiful image, but I'm affraid its not going to score well because of the challenge defination states: "the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting." I hope you do well, as this is a great shot

Great use of Backlight.
Love the flyaway hair.
Only voted on 19% so far but this is way ahead (pun not intended...) of the rest.
10 from me

Good luck

this is a really compelling photograph, but it is undebatably a silhouette.

Lovely halo on the hair! But, for me, that isn't enough on it's own - wonder if a reflector throwing some light onto the face (with the model facing the photographer, of course) might be more interesting? This is more abstract and may appeal more to some but for me it simply doesn't have quite enough as it is, even though I like the red-burnished gold of the hair.

I truly love this, but the description specifically said no silhouettes. BUMMER - this is a lovely image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 01:57:56 PM
I detect a silhouette - great shot tho
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 12:03:42 PM
Beautiful shot, but what about the "no silhouette" catch..?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 10:32:31 AM
Looks like you did not read the challenge description:
"the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 10:24:52 AM
isn't that a silhouette?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 09:59:41 AM
must NOT become a silhouette....

  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 04:05:24 AM
amazing photo but i doubt if it meets the challenge rules
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 01:51:53 AM
This is an interesting picture but I don't really think it meets the challenge which states you shouldn't let your subject become silhouette.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/11/2006 12:29:19 AM
ooooh creepy. I like what you've created here. Kind of gives me a Children of the Corn feel. Nice.
