    I think in this case the partially backlit isn't completely unpleasant. Shot in a botanic garden. Nikon D600 Tamron 60mm f3,5 1/200 EV-1 iso200
    in PP some local work to reduce the highlights.

    The backlighting makes for an interesting effect, Valerio and I like the subdued colors, but IMO there is too much going on in this image - my eye keeps wandering around because there is no single main point of interest to hold it. It will be interesting to see what others think.

    Yes,Steve,thank you. I too think where there are too subjects it become confused. I had no other choice in a private garden.

    Hi Valerio, I kinda like this I know how hard it is shooting in a botanical garden when you can't use a tripod, there's a lot going in the image, tho I do like the artistic take on it, the only thing for me is its not sharp, I don't know if that was intended but I would have liked the forefront plants nice and sharp seems to have a bit of movement in it. Apart for that still very interesting shot. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you Brian. I'm used to have a tripod, not always I use it, For example not with a70-200mm VR. Here..I don't remember, some uncertain view can be due my astigmatic eye.
    But..after i treated it Lightroom in sharpness in way indicated by M.Evening.

    Valerio you shouldn't go wrong if you follow Martin Evening - I have a couple of his books! I quite like the image though I have to agree it is rather busy. I rather like the flare but would seek to subdue it a little more.

    Thank you Jonathan, i have the book by M.Evening in english and I find some obstacle i understanding well in some parts. I agree that the image is a little busy and the light from uL should be better subdue.
