What's 'contre jour' mean?

Anyways, I like the picture much, but hate the title to it. I think it's also neat how the blanket it positioned over it.

Contre-jour is French for 'against daylight', referring to photographs taken when the camera is pointing towards the light source.

I like it. Maybe a bit fo a tigher crop to get rid of some of the excess black would help it?
