 Took a lucky shot of my son in a natural environment last winter... amazing chance shot of an arum lily's reflective light caught on his face. I never entered it for a DP Challenge, and when this challenge came up, I immediately thought of recreating that moment. This is my daughter - her name is Lily :-) and this was taken in my garden with a bought bunch of lilies... comes quite close to the original natural moment, although the light is harsher. Will go to the effort of uploading the original if this receives any interest...

Had to position the lily and Lily in the right position in line with the setting sun - juggled shadow casting and getting her face close enough...

Well done. As well as terrific light, you found the perfect angle to capture all the elements of this photo. 8

It's a hard subject challenge and this reviewer is having just as hard of a time properly rating images in the challenge. Having said all that however, this is a spectacular image and in any other setting and/or challenge would be a sure top ten image - it's spectacular, well controlled and very dramatic.

Great example of back lighting, though her pose is a bit awkward.
