Very challenging this one as backlit scenes usually are - for me the appeal of this scene was the brilliant day with an interesting shadow of the barn
forming a nice cool retreat. I love old structures anyway, and this is a beautiful barn!Nikhita on the beach

Was drawn to her posture and the sunlight hitting her and making her squint! Very cute look!
