So ...my search for a carnivorous plant, and ended up with this domestic pitcher and the first image with some back light..

Well just beginning to get a hold on this ..

A lovely look at this pitcher plant, Balan. (Funny thing...I was shoot my domestic pitcher's backlit a couple days ago...didn't do this well.) You've got good sharpness in the pitcher and the glowing green leaf is a great addition. While this looks great as presented, I also wonder about a vertical (or square) where the top of the leaf is in the frame.

Nice color and lighting against the black background.

Hi Balan, a great shot with the back lighting - I think the comp as is works well that both pitcher and leaf are 'cut' is a good solution with the visual focus being very much on the pink edge of the pitcher ...

No nits. I'll take it just as it is: a wonderfully back-lit pitcher plant. devil

An original presentation with a creative light. I have never photographed this plant and now I too wish to take my first portrait of it. I love the photo Balan.

Balan: Superb use of the back light. Love the rich color against the dark BG. Many thumbs up! >=))>
