So this is the first time I actually tried to get some sun flare....does it work in this photo or is it too distracting?

hmmmm - I can't decide....

I like the idea.. but something else about the photo just doesn't sit.. Is it intential to leave in so much "other stuff".. Have you tried it with some different crops? Maybe a portrait crop to accentuate them and the flare more...

hard to tell - 10-29-2007, 05:44 PM


I think it's hard to tell whether the flare works or not. I think overall, the picture doesn't work as stated before. Based on the composition, my eye keeps drifting to the building as though it's the focal part of the shot. The building seems imposing and dwarfs the scale of the people. That being said, the smaller crop still looks kinda funny to me as well.

Back to the flare, in this case, I don't think it adds much.
