I used the smaller aperture that allowed me to shoot handheld (f/14 in this case). It really helped that the sun was coming through the trees. Even though the lens I used is very prone to flaring (a Tokina), for whatever reason there was just a bit of flare on this one.How'd you get the sun to have even rays like that and in a perfect circle?
I suck at PP badly, so feel free to play with the image and post your result.a little more color contrast on the trees and light sharpening would really make this pop, but overall this is a nice capture
