I like the double meaning. Great shot. theFly

Strong backlighting was used to achieve the 'glow'.

Ann: I'm glad you noticed the double proverb. ;)

Excellent composure. I too am curious about the red glow behind the silhouette.

Looks like you are "burning your candle at both ends" so this is a dual proverb. ;) Neat image. Ann C

Very nice. I like the silhouette a lot. How did you achieve this effect and still get the background to glow red? Is there backlighting, or just the candle light?
