Thank you! I really appreciate your comment on my work. Yes, definitely agreed with your advice. It was my first silhouetted portrait ever without any practice and trying. I was shooting with this gorgeous model and just did it without a plan haha. Will share the result when I try my 2nd try 😁

Few people realise that a portrait can still be be very moody, even when shot against a bright backdrop—when the subject is silhouetted. This is an excellent example, Ray, and congratulations on your photo award!
Just a slight heads-up for next time: ensure your backlight isn’t too overpowering. If you look closely, the loose hair strands on top are slightly splitting apart because the backlight is a bit strong. A good rule of thumb is to keep your backlight one stop less than your key light. That said, in this case, the effect is minimal and doesn’t detract from the image. Well done—congrats again!
