    Hello Dorothee.
    My comment is in English, I'm afraid.
    When I take a picture like this - into the sun, (back-lit) - then I use photoshop elements . In the first place - I would use the "clone tool" to cover the red spot with some clone of the rocky surface ; and secondly, I would use the quick selection tool to select the sky-part of the image - and use the light -darkening function to make the sky a bit darker, and thereby, to reduce the stark contrast between the two halves of the image. It will still leave the sky too light ; but it will be less light.

    There is some "free" photo-editing software out there.


    Is this image from the Alps ?

      Thank you! I see what you mean about the stark contrast between the sky and the rocks. Usually I don't use photoshop elements for my photography. Do you know how to get the same effect by changing camera settings?

      I am not a very sophisticated , or technical, photographer. But - my camera does have an automatic "high dynamic range " (HDR) setting - where it takes 3 to 6 pictures of the same scene , in quick succession, at varying "exposures", and then combines them into a single, combined image.
      A lot of photographers pursue HDR as a process - using software to combine several images taken at different exposures, back on their computers.
      HDR landscape images tend to have darker, heavily-textured clouds and skies , as well as heavily textured/lined landscape features.

      Another problem - when shooting in to the light - are the light spots and flares of light. People tend to use "lens hoods" to reduce this problem. I take so many pictures, myself, and my camera is in and out of my bag so often - that I would find a lens hood to be an encumbrance.

      That is all I know. I do not know much, at all.

      The sun is both my friend and my enemy - but most of the time it is a firm friend. Mark.
