•  Question Isn't this a bit dark, even for a backlit subject? - Benh (talk) 19:31, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Well in real life the animal looks black as you're looking into the sun. I guess it's a matter of taste. Charles (talk) 20:24, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes it's totally fine if you like it like that. Just that from own experience, you can have both that bright outline and clearly see the subject in such situation. - Benh (talk) 22:40, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
