I remember attending a Nikon School about 40 years ago when we were told that National Geographic asked people to look through the magazine and pick their favorite photos.  Seven out of 10 favorite photos were side lit or backlit.

Thanks, Thomas, lucky for me, not so lucky for the wet boatman.

Harald, I cannot say is it does or doesn't but I really like the image  . Subject matter, depth and tones.

Nice one!
And I was an eye whitness for the backlight as the sun was clearly down there in the background at the far end of the battery of coke ovens.
