Great backlighting! 7

Darker.

At first I thought he was wearing football pads and had won/lost a game. After reading your title and taking a closer look, I realize it's winges. I think a sharper image would help that get expressed better, or maybe I'm just silly.

Nice back lighting.
03/17/2009 06:31:37 AM
Dramatic image, enigmatic...

Thught it was a football player with shoulder pads at first glance. Good shot.
03/15/2009 07:21:17 AM
the crouch he's in made me originally think he was a baseball catcher and then i realized those were winfs, forms a cool shadow btw
03/14/2009 07:49:56 PM
The title does it for me
03/14/2009 07:00:36 PM
I find the tilt distracting and the washed out areas don't seem to be helping the photo. My first thought was that this was a football player, the wings almost look like heavy padding.
03/14/2009 06:54:19 PM
wish there was just a bit more or less detail
03/14/2009 02:30:36 PM
Wonderful lighting and body position. Powerful image, and I love his shadow.
03/14/2009 07:45:43 AM
Looks like an angel about 6 points shy... Interesting use of back lighting.
03/14/2009 07:28:22 AM
don't really like this...to hazy
03/14/2009 02:36:37 AM
Beautiful backlight! I like the shadow.
03/13/2009 11:52:37 PM
looks like some scene from a gangster movie, Does not appeal too much to me, 5
03/13/2009 08:02:59 PM
Looks like a football player in pads. Nice silhouette.
03/13/2009 03:40:08 PM
Gritty image.
03/13/2009 03:18:01 PM
The shadow on the ground looks like a spade.
03/13/2009 12:55:48 PM
Oddly interesting. And the shadow makes a heart. Cool.

Interesting shot. I like the photo, but feel that it would be a bit better had you cropped out a bit more from the bottom.
03/13/2009 12:00:00 PM
Love the originality,I really like it..
03/13/2009 09:27:47 AM
Interesting shot, good use of the backlighting.
03/13/2009 04:01:08 AM
Interesting perspective and story. I probably would have done it in b/w but that is just me. Very emotive tho.
03/13/2009 01:31:41 AM
interesting
03/12/2009 08:31:23 PM
Funny, my first thought was "umpire". I like the back lighting and shadows. Car headlights?
03/12/2009 08:00:13 PM
Interesting composition and the shadow that he casts fits the image well.
03/12/2009 07:48:19 PM
Nice shadow effect.
03/12/2009 08:47:25 AM
and looks like a spear on the ground, beautiful capture !
03/12/2009 06:09:34 AM
Unfortunately you captured the headlight of the car on the right.
03/12/2009 05:18:59 AM
wish it were a little more in focus/sharp and had a straight horizon line, great idea for a photo!
03/11/2009 04:28:10 PM
An image full of many emotions and thoughts. The lack of pinpoint focus adds to the chaos of what may be happening, or meant to convey. Very nice.
03/11/2009 09:42:29 AM
Cool shot. The lighting is very well set up to create the dramatic effect.
03/11/2009 09:04:30 AM
I like the halo effect that the lighting gives your angel ...
03/11/2009 08:35:23 AM
Love the lighting on this, adds a great dynamic effect. The shadow created is neat.
03/11/2009 08:30:38 AM
He is gonna get hit by that car.
03/11/2009 05:53:28 AM
i like the shadow, but too bad the person is a little soft. also having that striped shirt does not help the emotion of the image.
03/11/2009 05:36:07 AM
a little too much foreground maybe
03/11/2009 04:34:29 AM
great set up
03/11/2009 03:13:14 AM
interesting lighting, the shadow created is cool as well
03/10/2009 11:16:20 PM
Your message is clear, as is the subject. I particularly like the evil shadow.
