A week ago, I went to an island. Corregidor, in the Philippines. It is the site of the last stand in the Philippines of Allied forces against Japan during WWII. I took this picture midday and the light was really harsh. I just wanted the three guns in the picture showing that is it overlooking the sea it was guarding. C &Cs are most welcome. How can I improve on this. I shot it with a canon 60d aperture priority 6.3. 1/ 400s 24-105@24mm.

Re: Three guns
I think you did very well considering the limitations of the light. For an alternative composition, consider displaying only the gun on the left by using a square crop, which will then require digitally removing the part of the middle gun that is displayed at the right side of the frame.

Re: Three guns
Mike's correct in the light thingy...you've overwhelmed the dynamic range of the camera...no shadow detail.
Try to get the light in a better direction...different time of day.

Re: Three guns
Thank you Mike, Chauncey and John. I was really at a lost how to tame the sunlight here. In this part of the world the sun is a bit unforgiving almost through out the day especially this time of year (dry season). I will try the crop as suggested by Mike.
