Default Beginner Sunflower Lens Flare

I recently started taking pictures and I'm addicted. :] The first is a sunflower patch I saw in Washington, the second is my attempt to have a cool sunglasses reflection. Please let me know what you think :]

Welcome to dPS , and a couple of strong images to start off with , I really dig the sun flare but I also belong to a group on Flickr called Embrace the Flare so its probably to be expected . I like you became addicted very quickly and spend too much time and money on this thing we love LOL . All the best .

You may want to look at getting onto Flickr or a photo sharing site - it makes uploading and sizing yr images much easier . Good luck .

You've got great colors and I like the "slightly out of focus" effect on the sunglass shot. No wonder you are addicted - you are a natural at this.

The first one is good, but the sunglasses one is really neat.

We do get addicted really fast, don't we? Both are really nice shots but my fav is the sunflower.
