Nice picture Pat
Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution;
it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny. — Aristotle
Love the Sun's reflection, very nice Pat Thanks for sharing!!!
Quote from Colin Powell
"There are no secrets to success; don’t waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence. You must be ready for opportunity when it comes"
Outstanding picture.

That is just magical. Just stunning...
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.

I've been following this post since you started it, and am glad folks keep adding to it so I come back and see the pic Maybe you can get Ricardo to help you photoshop out the tree!
Lifting dictionaries literally strengthens your muscles.

I love the tranquillity of this picture Pat .
I wish I could "energize myself" to this place and moment of time while I drink my evening cup of coffee .
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.
I said.people like you( and me ) are the reason I said probably. Generally though industry frowns on aberrations like lens flare....generally.That photo would probably not be marketable.... but that you like is all that matters otherwise,IMO.
