Weeelll, not really - sorta the opposite. Full sun in June would mean
something like sunny-16. With ISO @ 1250, that would be 1/1250 @ f16.
The actual exposure, shown below the image, was 1/200 @ f6.3. That's
more than six stops below sunny-16. It was in fairly deep shade.

Sorry to disappoint. As I've said before, after I saw the result, I
didn't even process it, and only trotted it out to illustrate a specific
point, not as an example of a good image.

As before, it was, in fact in the shade. Ken already nailed the problem,
in detail; it's just not a proper candidate for an interesting B&W
image. But that's not what my post was about.
