My lens flare attempt

[krenka]

Got excited by the tut I read today so took my daughter down the beach to give it a try - thought the result wasn't bad, though there were a heck of a lot of duds!

Well done krenka, you had an idea, saw it through to a conclusion, despite a few set backs along the way.
I'm not certain exactly what you wanted to achieve in your lens flare shot, many happen accidentally, or are inserted diring the editing phase.
I do however like your picture, with its fresh and summery feel, and of of course your adorable model with the sun streaming through her hair, nicely done

Nice shot...I have to say, I try to avoid sunspots unless it's really something that adds to the shot. I do love the comp of this shot.

Thanks guys, was inspired by the dps tutorial on artistic lens flare - trying to stretch myself with something different and thought the summery dreamy feel seemed to work.
