Intent

Behind the frame

What I was trying to do:: I was trying to create a painterly effect through the glass.
What worked:: I think the goal was achieved and I was blessed by a perfect day and the sun setting in a position that would fill the entire booth with a beautiful natural light. The green booth also contrasts beautifully with the yellow color of the time of the day. The fact that I took it in the Swedish Midsommar adds a bit of extra magic to it.
What I'd do differently:: I have mixed feelings about the lens flare on the left. I think I quite like it as it bring some extra warmth to the scene, but it also distracts from the main subject, so maybe I should have shot it with a lens hood. All in all, I see the appeal on both ways of doing it, I was still left with a lot of contrast where I wanted so it wasn't like the picture suffer in any other way.
