week 12 of the 52 captures challenge called for a backlit shot. backlit is one of those techniques that is a hit or miss for me. well, more often miss than hit. so far as i can remember, i only have one post of a backlit something in all my 13 years here on 365 project.
the day after we buried my brother's ashes, we were at a bubble tea shop and the owner had a collection of anime characters displayed on the counter of the shop. i don't have any idea who this guy is, some kind of a ninja warrior perhaps.
we had a big thunderstorm in the afternoon and now it's so humid it's not funny!
I also struggle with that back lighting. It is not an easy technique. It seems it needs to be very dark with a single source of light behind the subject for it to be truly effective. This is a cute subject. With some nice back light.
I’m jealous of the thunderstorm but not the humidity.
I too have problems with backlighting. I think probably with this photo, the front side of the subject is too bright to technically be backlighting. Maybe monitor the subject then lower the exposure to more silhouette it?

My condolences on the loss of your brother.
