"Backlighting"

@condra was the Judge!!

3rd place

@jumartphoto

One of the reasons I love backlit portraits is how it can flatter a models hair and add atmosphere. This is a beautiful portrait.

2nd place

@callmeyance

The almost silhouetted figure of the subject here is accentuated by the starkness of the lighting. The first thing we notice is the most important aspect of this image; our models dramatic pose and athletic form.

1st place

@zipporah

This portrait stood out as a clear winner for me. The back lighting which causes the feathers to glow, not only separates our subject from the background, but gives us a beautiful insight into the structure of the costume. Fantastic photo.
