Beautiful job, everyone! You’re all doing such a great job at making a Quiet Time look pleasant and appealing!
@laura-aome, that pink spot would technically be called “lens flare”! It’s caused by the sun coming directly into the lens. Lens flare isn’t always a bad thing and can be used artistically, but in this particular case I find it more a distraction than a positive element. 🙂 To avoid lens flare, you just need the front of your lens to be shaded in one way or the other. Either by stepping into shade yourself, or by using a lens hood, casting a shadow over your lens with your other hand, tilting the lens so the sun isn’t coming into it directly, adjusting your position so the subject is blocking the sun, or things like that!
