littledrawe if you would really push the contrast and shadows to the max in those two pics I'm sure you'd get much more from those rainbow rays.

John/jheu nice shot with the 28Viv. Here's another Viv28,

BTW here's a comprehensive flare test with UWA and with fisheyes.

I think it was my Smugmug security settings that got mixed up. Taken with the Helios 44-2 55mm f2, btw.

Tamia you reminded me of this one I took last year.

Kit lens just a little while after the sun came up over the mountains

Charles,

Welcome to PF! Nice use/placement of the flare helping to highlight the hair. I know this isn't the critique section, but I think it could be even better with a little different crop, offsetting your subject's face just a little to the left and up from dead-center in the frame.

Thanks jheu.. always open to criticism so thank ou... I'll try it out sometime soon.

Littledrawe, that's a beautiful photo. You caught the snow flurries very well.

Went to the pond today for some reflections, here's one that I was trying to avoid the flare, but when getting it up on the screen, I like some of the warmth it added on this chilly afternoon.

Didn't like this one when I first went through the batch... now I kinda dig it

Yep! Warp speed Mr. Sulu. Not sure how the biker can do it also but...maybe he's drafting.
