Thank you Trisha. This backlit shot was taken with a 300mm F2.8 VR at F5.6, 1/1500, ISO 200, WB Cloudy-1 and -.3 EV. The bokeh of the lens is magnificent and the effect you see is the sparkling ocean behind the subject. Unfortunately, his hair is a little blown out - but that is the nature of the game with blond hair.

Thank you Adrianna - the warmth comes from the white balance setting of "Cloudy-1". Even though it was taken in bright sun, I find that WB setting to provide great color and flesh tones.
