Backlit DF

[OvidiuCavasdan]

First time for me posting in the OOTB forum
It was a surprise to find this morning a dew covered DF so late in the season, early morning light, backlit.
40D, 100mm Macro, F14, 1/15 sec, ISO 250, tripod, slightly cropped, converted to BW and played around with sliders.

Welcome to OOTB. Beautiful first post. I like the composition, the back light and the dew. Lovely image!

Ovidiu, welcome to OOTB! This is a beautiful image. I love the back lighting and the black and white adds to the simplicity of the composition.

I agree with what Denise and Cheryl said. The backlighting and dew really sparkle on the wings and I too think black and white is the perfect choice.

Hi Ovidiu. Nice to see you here in OOTB! Beautiful photo! Love the composition, backlighting, and dew-covered wings, and the B&W is just perfect for it. :)

Hi Ovidiu, nice to see you posting here. Very nice work on this one - love the backlight and dewy sparkles. Very nice. I especially like your use of compositional elements in the image.
