This image is a back lit silhouette with shadows. I think the photographer took his meter reading around the lighter flower section of the photograph because there is a dark underexposed shadow, but there is detail in the flowers. I think the photographer is going for a mysterious, but also calming mood. The shadow makes it eerie with the light surrounding it, but the image is beautiful. I think if the photographer metered the opposite, there would not be an intense shadow and it would be properly exposed. I do not think there would be as much of a strong mood to the photograph.
