    Pat theres actually filters in Photoshop and Gimp that allow you to add Flare and manipulate lighting effects.

    Whats important isn't that lens flare is often thought of as a bad thing. Whats important is that you,The Photographer, likes the end result. Thats whats fun about a Hobby like photography. That photo would probably not be marketable.... but that you like is all that matters otherwise,IMO.

    Thanks Al, I do like this image and think the flare and sunburst add a magical element to the image. One thing I do not like is the pine of the right.

    Pat, I liked the original pic more than the one without the pine. Couldn't you just crop a little on the left and a little on the right? The pine would be less distracting and you wouldn't loose that much on the other side.

    I have to disagree with Al. I would buy a print of this and hang it on my wall. I have a wall that needs something large and beautiful. I find your picture to be peaceful and inspiring at the same time.

    Actually Liz you arent disagreeing with me.

    .people like you( and me ) are the reason I said probably. Generally though industry frowns on aberrations like lens flare....generally.
