Yeah, it's all from the sun. My bf and I went under the boardwalk and I just saw the pillar and the sun was hitting on it perfectly and I thought to myself, "Yes, that would be a great shot if I can pull it off and aim myself (my pose) to get it just right in the sun". So I hope I accomplished it. I didn't use any effects in that little set, the only thing I did, was just smooth my face in this pic, and the other one that looks like this, and that was it. So I'm proud of myself. I try to be very mindful when I do outdoor shots to see where the sun is shining and I just try to get the best shot from it I can. I actually wish I took more in that spot, but I only did those 2, the 1st one was actually just a test shot, but I thought it was very pretty.
