Very difficult scene for exposing. [As the eye scans a scene like this in nature, the iris continually adjusts to compensate, and the mind interprets the details.] Sometimes a scene like this can be treated as an impression; perhaps here metering on the foreground shadow grass, and giving one stop MORE exposure. Everything would become pastel flash of light. [However, this depends on mood you want to create. Metering on the bright background grass, and giving one stop LESS exposure, would give a much different impression.] Trying to get this scene to look natural would likely be impossible. But natural isn't always the most fun. Try shooting at a different time of day.

I will :) There's so much yet I have to understand as the way light plays on the surfaces in different hours!!(and depending on surfaces too). To paint, brings me to decide by my inner will how to "expose" the scene... but to deal with real sun about it, in real, and with camera, indeed is atotal different matter :) I guess it will be useful for whan i paint too, though :) Thank you Misha :)Your inputs are very worthy :)

hi, no advice to give, just to say good to see you posting in the forum :-)

thank you.. before feeling entitled to, I had to follow for weeks how this works, to be aware of patterns of communicationand riskin to not break balances :)Plus I had to try to shot decently some to ask advice for.. it would have been strange to be part of the photography Forum.. without having pics to talk about :P I have to add there ar e extremely talented persons here, and everyone seems so keen at being helpful that it's a delight to be part of this.I am sure I will get lots of inspiration for learning (soon or later how to take a good picture. thank you for the welcomening message :) Puts a smile on my face :)

I agree with Misha about exposure.. BUT.. I think the mood coming out from YOUR exposure is great: like we can feel the freshness of the shadow.. :) And U are on the grass under a tree because U need fresh :) Then I think U perfectly catched the atmosphere in this shot..
