Hard, Soft, Diffused

HARD
-This photo is of an image that creates a prominent shadow and uses the sun as the direct light source. Additionally, details are lost in the wrangler's face and clothes.

SOFT
-In this picture (image 6 of 10, with the dog), no shadows are cast. It's not an especially dramatic photo, but the details are held across the frame.

DIFFUSED
-Finally, here, contrast and colors are reduced because of the weather. The only real color comes in the foreground with the skier.
