From everything I've read and what I've seen in the photos I've been taking, the afternoon sun is the worst lighting to try and work in. Unless you can find an area of open shade, forget it if you want good photos instead of just snapshots. Or unless you want to spend a lot more time in PSE. I don't. Sorry guys.
I won't say though that its a complete waste of time. There may be times when you want that type of shadow in your pictures. But, overall, no. I read one article that if you're trying to submit those types of photos for publication a lot of art directors won't even look at them. Not that I'm at that level, but something to think about.
Meanwhile, I just keep on practicin'.
