Critique Club
Composition: I like the inclusion of the trees at the bottom of the image - they add an interest point. Presumably the cropping at the top was dictated by the lens reflections. Some people commented that they should be removed, but I disagree totally - to me they make an important contribution to the image.
Technical Quality: The focus on the branches is pretty good - no doubt helped by such a fast shutter speed. In some respects the photo isn't technically excellent (ie: lens flare), but I think the shot requires the lens flare to be interesting. The colour of the sky is quite pleasing, and the colours of the flares are good also.
Meeting the Challenge: I guess the sun plays a big part in the weather, however your title makes the photo more specifically about the sun.
Creativity: I like the message conveyed by the photo, and you have executed it well.
Borders / Title: Your title is fine, although I don't know that uppercase helps it at all. A title like "what a sunny day" might have been more appropriate for the challenge topic, but I prefer your title in general.
Overall: It's an interesting photo. Hopefully you didn't damage the camera by holding it there for too long. I like the colours, I like the silohuette, and I really like the flare of the sun.

| You're supposed to sneeze when you look directly at the sun - it forces you to close your eyes!!! Nice shot here - I like the rays beaming down and the tree branches that are almost silhouetted. Nice cloudless sky. |

| Kind of cool how you can see the 3 primary colors on the left hand side as lense flare. Nice. |

| Good shot. It's hard to get the burst effect without a special filter. |

| I am having a hard time leaving a comment(bad connection) so, if you get two from me you'll know why. anyway, I really dig the rainbowesque lense flares, they add a certain geometry that's really attractive, to me. 8 |

| its a nice photo of the sun but you might be able to improve on it by cropping out the sun spots in the top lefthand corner |

| But your image makes me WANT to! Nice work. The bush adds a point of reference here. |

| You can go blind doing that! An interesting shot and turned out okay. The lense flare is a little distracting though. |

A warning for all of us there - how civic-minded of you; kind of 'don't try this at home' for the DPC members. :)
Getting back to the topic - a nice shot, a good idea, but you may get some grief from others baoutn shooting into the sun... 7 from me. |
