Use backlight to create an interesting effect upon your subject. Experiment with your camera's light meter to capture the most attractive exposure. Post your favorite image and explain why this image appeals to you.

The next assignment will be posted March 2. Remember, former assignments will always remain open and you may pick and choose from them going forward.

Much better. Did you read the article I posted re: Back Lighting...etc.? It gives some excellent examples.
Jim
P.S. The attached image is a fairly good example.

Maybe late in the week but I like this one. I was particularly pleased with the highlights on the man's hair, and with the way spot-metering for his face left his profile cut out against the overexposed sunlit pond.
Regards, Ati.

This will work. I would have darken the frontal area, i.e., burning or increasing the contrast. I do not know what S/W you are using for post processing. - Jim

Jim, I reworked the photo along the lines you suggeste. Also, I tweaked the colour balance (shock-horror, realised I had left it on 'fluo' from some previous shots in the kitchen)
Regards, Chris.
