Back light is great but white will obliterate most everything else in an image since it is the strongest draw in the eye due to survival instincts.

Which may or not be a good thing, I'm not sure what the intended purposes are. I think a mid ground would have been better, a smaller highlight or something. Otherwise it's fine, except maybe fix the background up on the right corner Callum Bright Photography; Website
