I would describe this photo as a very nicely executed snapshot. And i think it's perfect for the challenge.

What i like about this photo so much is that it shows the realism of the situation. I mean if i were a professional photographer, why would i shoot during midday outdoor? I'd rather wait for a better sunlight. But the reality is, most camera owners aren't professional photographers who shoot artistic architectural photography. Some are tourists taking snapshots of places they went to. Some are just regular people who happen to be in a nice photo-worthy location during midday, and they happen to have brought along their camera. These people are the ones faced with the challenge of taking good snapshots during harsh midday sunlight. These people taking snapshots during midday should learn a thing or two from this photo.

Beautiful image. The shadows seem very long for mid-day, but I giving the benefit of the doubt, because the light is definitely harsh. Nicely done, and I like the lens flare.
