This is where I find the use of a special effects filter to be a bit gimmicky. I think it detracts from the beauty of the scene and time of day. I would have preferred instead you move a little to the right to shield the bright sun and increase exposure to include a better lit valley below. Just wondering what the green object is in the lower left...Are you trying to hide something here? Still, this scene evokes some kind of feeling in me, just think it was handled wrong.

pretty photo....I am thinking a filter helped you capture the sun's rays in this fashion. I remember using a few unique filters when I still owned my 35mm

Nice color spectrum, but I'm more curious about the landscape. It looks like it might be a beautiful area that is washed out by the intense sunlight. The green thing on the left side is also a little distracting.

Yes it's tacky alright but it's also out of focus. Composition is a little dull and flat.

Comment by wingy:
The lense flares are cool, but the rest of the shot has not detail due to the contrast, leaving it rather uninteresting overall. That's too bad because the beams of light in the background look like they offered a lot of potential, but thye just don't come through very strongly because the shot is completely dominated by the sun flare in the top right.
