van, this is a beautiful shot! i know this one is the image submitted under basic editing, but have you thought about revisiting it, and editing out the lense flare at the top middle? that would be a shot that would sell! this just goes to show that you can get great shots in the middle of the day. and i also agree, this should have placed much higher. better luck next time.

I saw this only once. You did it better than I did, because you also captured the sun rays. Great shot!

I`m guessing this is an upside down circumzenithal arc.

this is a rather a 'neon' picture than a divine one in my opinion

I think this is supposed to show a rainbow of sorts but the colours do not stand out which makes me wonder what the photo is really about. A few lens flares but overall a nice effect.

Probably a risky title in this forum but I liked the picture well enough to put it in my top 10. Simple, but nicely framed and exposed. High aspect ratio works well full size but makes for a poor thumbnail.

Title hits the mark, but what the northern lights/clouds have to do with it is a mystery to me.
