I was photographing my sons under some natural limestone arches. They were on the other side of the arch in the sun so they would not be in the shadows. The sun back lit the edge of them and they were very stiff as you can see and it created this strange image... :)

I had this wonderful image of one son's cat, but this appealed to me more...so here's hoping.

Maybe if they had pointed ears or some Andorian antennaes.

Really neat the way the light is catching them. I assume that glow is what the title is referring to. To me, it makes them look like cardboard cutouts.

I like the natural framing of the rock. I like the backlighting off their hair. I think it could be a bit sharper.

The back light did catch them in a weird way. My first thought was they were paper cut outs. They look two-dimensional. 5

interesting lighting, maybe a tighter crop would work slightly better
