Summer the Holiday Fairy

We are in the process of preparing the house for having the entire central heating system replaced so did not get the opportunity to enjoy today's wonderful weather. However, the kids very much enjoyed it and I caught this shot of my daughter Becky reading a book while on the swing.

The photo almost looks as though it is studio lit, as Becky's face has been brightened by the reflected light from the page, which was great as the harsh sunlight has made it extremely difficult to cope with the extreme contrast between the highlights and the shade and she was too far away for fill-in flash.
