Not only the sun, but also a lot of other things. LOL...Mary Anne

Thank you Mary Anne! I'm particularly fond of this pic. Don't you sometimes wish you could control the Sun?

Nugar, it's a beautiful composition, and the little bit of backlighting on her skin and body make it extra special. The skin tones and texture are also nicely captured. --Mary Anne

Hi Ann, I think I have another version of this very image with the background as you describe. Producing it involved some heavy duty photoshoping to mute the background. This particular image was captured at noon under a really really *really* harsh sun. And at the time I didn't have my 420ex yet :( (In fact I ran out of batteries in that tour due to using the on-board flash :(( )

Wow Nugar, I really love the look of the woman fixing the fruit. My only wish is that the background were toned down. She looks like a painting by Gaugin. Ann C
