Playing with light

Ok. So first post, first experiment. Here's the photo first and, then, the diagram of how the lighting went. I wanted to show the way the light was coming through the leaves. My first attempt was too dark because I had metered for the sky, so I opened up on both aperture and shutter speed to let in more light and allow a greater depth of field. I wanted to have just a little bit of definition in the leaves, but I wanted to keep the tree in a silhouette. I think it worked out...
