Cool Breaking the Rules

I know you shouldn`t shoot into the sun, but I like how it turned out.

Well, I say that's one rule that was broken in a very nice way. Great shot Bill!

I like how it turn out also, beautiful. That's what you get from having such a soft sun, I accidentally caught the afternoon sun while trying to capture a bird diving, I think I nearly blinded myself and the camera, couldn't see properly for a while.

Beautiful shot. I really like the clouds and the reflection. An added bonus is the footprints? curving into the water.
