Backlighting Entry

I know you guys have seen this photo before, but I wanted to enter it into a contest going on over at Rock the Shot Forum.  The contest is to enter a shot that has backlighting. 

water hose fun

I always get a little nervous about judged contests, but I just love this shot.  I remember sitting in the backyard watching them play with the hose and thinking that the light coming through the water mist was just perfect for a shot.  I handed the baby off to the hubby and ran for my camera.  Much to my delight the little turkeys had not stopped what they were doing (usually they do that by the time I get my camera). 

I am sure Rock the Shot wants something that professionals have taken of their clients, but getting photos of your own kids is much harder.  Plus, I am not a professional, just a crazy mom that stalks things with her camera, um enthusiast.

There is still time to enter.  The contest ends on September 30th.  You can find more information over at www.rocktheshotforum.com

  9. Good luck! That really is a nice capture. And I totally know what you're saying...the other day a huge wasp landed on our picture window and you could see every little detail of his "face." But of course, by the time I got my camera, the boys had scared it away by tapping/pounding on the glass! Ugh.
