Coming home from vacation, we went over the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino, California, and were greeted with this beautiful sight. I told my wife that I wished there was somewhere we could pull over so I could get a photo, but there wasn't. Fate intervened in the form of traffic, and we soon came to a stop long enough to take a photo. I know there is some flare, but I didn't have time for a retake lest I irritate the driver behind me.

What's that greenish-yellowish circle? UFO? :)

Lens flare takes away from focus of photo, the haze washes out the mountains, so that the first thing you notice after the lens flare is for me the power lines. Beautiful scenery.

Nice. Crop with less sky would have been better. Too bad about the lens flare but thats basic editing for you...

Looks like a painting and this is very effective to me. The spots are distracting but the image is nice. What aperature?

Good Shot! Watch the lens flare in the future, but excellent clarity and leveling. This is a great pic. Maybe just a tad more touchup with contrast/brightness. GOOD FOCUS.

light spot is distracting, but the image pulls me away enough.
