About the photograph - Meeting of the Waters, Killarney

A beautiful summer day in Killarney National Park at the Meeting of the Waters where Muckross Lake meets Lough Leane. The Old Weir Bridge surrounded by trees with dense summer foliage, illuminated by the afternoon sun with their vivid colours reflected in the calm waters.
I remember thinking to myself that as a rule, taking photographs in the early afternoon isn't generally recommended as the sunlight tends to be too harsh. But like most rules in photography, there can be exceptions, and I think in this case the bright sun worked in my favour.
Let me know what you think.
