Note: I used no filter for the starburst effect around the sun. The sun's rays and the iris did all this without help... |

Hi Stan,
I like the idea and the effort here but it doesn't seem to have worked out. I get your title and it fits the challnge in my mind. The compositon seems to be slightly off most noteably the horizon it's cockeyed. The starburst is nice effect but you have some lense flare above the sun which is a distraction. Also the lower quater of the image you hve lose all detail including the cutting off of all the trees. I get the impression you where in a gully on an upward angle and it killed you. |

| The sunburst is beautiful! Too bad it was not appreciated for what it is. I guess people were looking for something more traditional lol. |

| It’s a cool idea – but the sun is way too bright IMO and details are not visible in the foreground, which occupies majority of the frame. Good luck! |

| I love the star effect on the sun. However, the horizon seems to be not level and the diagonal pole in the composition is distracting. |

| It might be, but really from this view the light source could be a spot light shining in the evening. The pic just doesn't say "fire" to me. |

| Interesting effect. I have never really thought of shooting the sun. |
