Backlit Scarlett Sumac

I enjoy backlit subjects, like this Scarlett Sumac bush in our backyard. To get this nice contrasty result, I often underexpose by a stop or so to darken the background. I like the effect, hope you do too!

resonant forms and colours....underexposure is the way to go in many situations, as highlights are kept in check, and even with re-brightening colours can be a tad enriched..

Gorgeous shot, red looks great against the dark background.
