Backlighting for Spirituality
Stained glass windows in houses of worship take advantage of "transmitted light," that is, light that passes through the translucent, colored (stained) glass rather than being reflected off of its surface.
The inherent spirituality of such perceived light is a phenomenon of interaction/reaction between the human nervous system and God/Nature/The Cosmos
so, why not exemplify the phenomenon capturing transmitted sunlight and a Cosmos flower?
Well, that's exactly what I've done.

Enjoy the spirituality.
Beautiful photo to be the last thing I see before I get on with other things. Thanks.
You have done it exceedingly well, breathtakingly beautiful.
The kind comments are most flattering and greatly appreciated.
Very spiritual, yes. Beautifully captured, Mac.
Quite beautiful Mac.
Superb!
Most flower shots are taken frontally, often from above and with the light source over the photographer's shoulder -- the light is reflected off of the flower's surface and to the eye of the viewer.
I took this shot exactly the opposite way -- the underside of the flower, taken from behind and with light transmitted through rather than reflected from the flower.
I'm a contrarian in that respect.
Which is why you're the photographer and I'm the spectator!! Yes to that whole light thingy
