Exactly right. "Fun" is the point. Sun was at the worst possible angle. May try it again and let the sun light up what it will. It would, also, not be hitting the bark-less right side of the stump, thus eliminating the glare. I actually like the stump image better from further to the left, but the background from that angle is awful.
