Challenge: Backlighting III (Basic Editing)
Collection: Challenge Pics - Meh
Camera: Olympus E-500 EVOLT
Lens: Olympus 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko Digital

 The sun is on one side of the clouds, I am on the other side of the clouds, therefore, I consider this lighting from behind. Without the light source, we would not see the depth or dimension of the clouds.

The object is enhanced and the clouds are not silhouette.

May this photo be blessed with overanalysis by DPCya...

Nope, dodging and burning is not allowed in basic so certainly none occurred here.

Beautiful sky image. Wish we got those kinds of clouds here. The clouds are usually very uninteresting in my area.

I love the dynamism of the clouds that you've captured here, the feeling of movement, but lazy, slow movement. The clouds are nice and toasty warm, delightfully floating, flying, they're in no hurry to go anywhere, they're just going to hang out in the sun. Nice.

I really like this. The blues, the light, the shadows. It's an awesome photo. I think it scored a little low but I think mine tend to do that too.

Great clouds shot! They look so (Greek) mythological.

Nice 3-D look of the clouds, nice job of drawing out their texture.

Can't help but think there's a little dodging and burning going on here. which I think isn't allowed in basic editing?

Wonderful sky and one you would love to have in a landscape picture - but it's really not that exiting to look at on it's own I'm afraid.

Nice image - Love the feel - Just needs something else to add some interest.
