Description
Backlit scenes present certain challenges (at least for me :-), the main one being the prevention of everything in the foreground becoming merely silhouettes, but at the same time, not creating false shadows as a result of just adding light in the foreground. Anyway, it was fun to do and I learned a lot.

It looks wonderful : the light in the sky and the reflection giving a sparkle on the water is perfect.

I like the sky very much. Agree with NODROG69.

Nice. Photographic even. Unfortunately the movie industry has ruined us all as to what things look like in the light, since everything is backlight with reflectors and what not. This is sort of like the sounds of spaceships thundering through deep space -- not possible, but nevertheless a requirement for viewers wanting realism. Weird or what? Anyway, keep up the good work.

A very realistic sunset in this wonderful rendition of an odyssey. Surely you can turn shadows off lights if you don't want them to cast shadows.

Excellent work. You have worked the lighting very well. This is much better than "true realism" to me.

You get so much out of minimal use of objects to create an interesting scene. The sky and athmosphere are perfect. Great work again. "V"

Hard to say anything that is not said - and well said before here. Maybe the composition, that is very classical and very very effective (and good of course). Obvious that it is done by someone who knows a little about! Superb image Ken!
