    I’ve struggles with shots like these. How do you not let the sun overtake the background while showing the plant in such detail? Mine either have the plant in a silouette or the background completely white. In this shot, both seem to have good detail & coloring.

      I shoot RAW, then pull down the brightness and raise the shadows. Works best with a camera sensor that has a wide dynamic range. With jpg you can’t recover much details in the dark and especially bright areas.
