 I had lots of trouble shooting for this challenge. This was my 4th or 5th idea and if I wasn't in a WPL team I think I would have passed on this one. In the end I kind of like this shot. I tried to reshoot it but the clouds wouldn't "play ball". My wife wanted to reshoot it so she could fix her hair! I like the idea of a dark cloudy sky behind with a sunny day in the glasses. The 1600 ISO was a mistake - I didn't realise it was still on that from the night before when I was trying a different idea.

The title...it's the opening line from a Temptation song, "My Girl":
> I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
> When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
> I guess you'd say
> What can make me feel this way?
> My girl (my girl, my girl)
> Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

if you could have gotten only clouds in the reflections it would be better in my books.
