This is another picture of Matano Lake Series, Sorowako. I have to re-posted it to enhance the image quality (sharpened, contrast & saturation). It was high noon, you can see the sunlight was so harsh, and the sky was too bright. I should have used point metering on the skin tone to tackle the backlight problem, or a fill in flash maybe, I don't know. I use ISO 80. Thanks for viewing :D
