Speaking of back lighting problems.

Here is a shot taken a few minutes ago. Not the best example of back lighting but it does pose a problem nonetheless. The sun is just rising and is shining from the right, so the important parts of the bird are shadowed. The round light behind her is the sun reflecting off a car window several blocks away. I like the effect of the round light and that she has her mouth open, so I want to keep the picture.

First I cropped the image to the size I wanted.
