 Yesterday we went to a free outdoor circus in the middle of the city. This girl was amazing on the trapeze. She swung so high I was getting amazing lens flare effects trouble was it was hard to crane my neck so far back and I could barely see from looking straight into the sun so it was a bit of pot luck what I got! This is probably the best one because none of the rigging can be seen.

Very, very cool - who says you should shoot straight at the sun? :)

This has a very day dreamy feel to it. The interesting angle with the sun adds to that feel, I think. As do the textures.

Just perfect use of textures - adds depth to the image.

Love the strange angle you've captured.

Love this one , Charlie! Wonderful perspective and lines. The rays of light as well as the lens flare are perfect. Love your choice of overlays, too. I've spent many an hour downloading great textures from flickr. One of the best resources around, I think.

I discovered Flickr just a few days ago as well, but I didn't see that second texture which I'm going to try out. Love the treatment to your image and I catch the brightness of the sun when I look into it. Reality check - it's so real.

Isn't flickr a wonderful thing? Man, the subtleties of the layering really give this some oomph.
