This is a picture I took of Helen while on a climbing frame at a park earlier this week. While she was climbing to the top, I looked up and had to reach for my camera as I found the silhouette effect mesmorising.
I just think the picture says: “Yeah, I can do anything.” This can probably be explained by Helen’s confident stance.
I was delighted to get some sun flare in the image. Â I had to move around a bit to get the flare effect both behind her leg and above her head but I think it has worked well.
I’ve cropped the picture slightly and used a black and white filter in Adobe Lightroom, an app I hadn’t used before. That said, the filter hasn’t made a huge difference as I was shooting into the sun so everything came out very dark anyway.
What does the picture say to you? Do you agree that Helen’s stance oozes confidence? Is your eye drawn to the sun flare? Please do tell me in the comments below.

That’s a great photo #MySundayPhoto
Thank you Sahron, had to take a few from different angles but glad I managed to snap this in the end.
Yes, that’s definitely a confident pose and the sun flare looks really cool adding a whole new dimension to the photo.
Thanks Anne, glad you think she looks confident.
It’s a great photo. It definitely says confident to me. Maybe you should print it for her wall 🙂 #MySundayPhoto
DO you know, that is a brilliant idea. I think I will get it printed off.
It’s a great photo! I love the way the sun is lighting her up. She definitely looks very cool and confident.
I confess it wasn’t the photo I was expecting to take but I think it works.
Love that – looks like she could take on the world!
That’s what I thought of the image, it oozes confidence I think.
I love this in black & white. The angle makes her look so high up
Thank you for linking up
It’s not so much Helen climbing to that height that bothers me, it’s Izzy because she’s quite capable. Thanks for hosting #MySundayPhoto.
Confident and love the flare #mysundayphoto
Hurrah! Someone who agrees with me on both points. Thanks for commenting.
Gorgeous photo. Love the light and shadows #mysundayphoto
Thanks, I think it’s very hard ot get a decent shot into the sun.
Hi John, Helen’s stance certainly is a one of confidence. I do think the sun flares add interest to the photo as do the clouds.

Interesting you mention the clouds. I tried to get a few images of them but it simply wasn’t happening.
Lovely photo with the sun and a real don’t mess with me stance.
Another fan of the stance! Awesome stuff and hope you’re keeping well Fiona.
Great photo, I like that you’ve used black and white and the sun flare makes it extra special #MySundayPhoto
Ah, another sun flare fan. Glad to hear it and great to hear yo think the B&W works.
Nice to get out and run off some energy!
Oh yes it was, especially after all the bad weather we’ve had recently.
Love the sun flare in this shot – so striking with the silhouette.
It’s a very confident photo, and a wonderful one too! Love the light and the effect. Beautiful shot x
Thanks Sara, I wasn’t sure how it would turn out but glad you like it.
