I think of this as being a relaxed shot after the rain, but it followed a wild and, tragically for some, lethal three days of weather on the eastern coast of Australia.
Thanks Lance. I was on my way back from the Art Gallery Sunday. Same time the theft of the Frans van Mieris occurred. I was amazed I was allowed to take my back pack in for once. But, no, I won't be retiring soon
I see a little haloing too but compositionaly, i really like it. The people walking in the foreground work for me. Also the people talking to the right. The two reflections are also very good.
It was shot at F8. I must admit I was a little surprised how distinct the star shape of the flare was at that aperture, but then again I don't often shoot straight into the sun.
