| I very much prefer you black and white version of this shot. The tree looks so wretched, it needs a cooler mood. |

| This is beautiful. I think the sun flare really adds to the mood of the shot. Feels like I'm standing right there. |

| Awesome! Could use some adjustments but with basic editing you can only do so much... I like it , I like it, I like it. |

| would be great without the solar flare but since it is basic editing I guess you can't clone them out. |

| I have a feeling many people will object to the bright red sun artifacts running through the photo. I actually like it, it adds a kind of surreal element to the shot. However, I wouldn't mind if you could tone down the red a slight bit so it's not so obvious. Stunning location and depth of field. I like how the light is soft and the sky is white in the background. 9. |

| I like the composition but find the sun 'circles' in the beam distracting. might bump up on another pass. |

| Very clever to put a photo of this tree in both challenges! It is a beautiful tree and location. I like this one better than the HC one, where the flare distracts. Here, the flare adds to the picture a lot! Nice job. |

I know i would love this shot.. with out the sun flare spots.... they just seem too distracting to me ... sorry I'm sure in person this place would make my soul smile.
**Post edit months later** The more I think about this and come back to this picture the more I am liking the sun flare.. the direct lines of them and where they lead the eye. I still think the tree is lost to them a bit.. but I actually am diggin the spots too :)

| This picture is really interesting because of the sun and how it seems to cast a blood red ray over the tree. Very cool |

| Really magnificent scene. Not crazy about the processing though. Somehow it seems to take away from the beautiful detail and rich tones, rather than augment them. Still strong entry. |

| Flares can be used creatively to enhance and frame subjects. I like the flares around the tree branch, but as they get closer to the foreground they start to distract my eye. Since I am not sure how you could have angled the camera to get rid of some of the flares, I have no advice. It is definitely a shot worth doing over and over to perfect just the right amount of flare for the subject. |

| i recognise this tree from high contrast. The lense flare really hurts this image (and the otherone also) Without it it would be perfect. |

| The title makes the sun rays part of the image, but I have a feeling that you would have had a strong image if you could have managed a shot without the sun rays. JMHO. |
