Can I ask a question...How do you get the star effect in your sun? I love this picture. The walkway leading out is great. The sun shining bright...wonderful. Great focus and clarity. Thanks for sharing.

thanks so much: the star effect is obtained withy the smallest diaphragm aperture (22 here)

Comment from Keri353
Very pretty shot with the city view in the background. It's off center just enough to make the eye travel all over the picture to try and capture all the details. I love the blue-ness with the white from the sun. Again great job! Thanks for posting this one. Blessings, Keri

Comment from RochelleW
Wow!!! This is absolutely breathtaking. I love the skyline, the reflection of the sun on jetty, and the sun its self is so stunning. The movement of the water is tranquil. You've captured great DOF. There is so much going on in this spectacular shot I don't know what to look at first. Fantastic job!!!

That is a beautiful shot of the starry sun cast rays in all directions and its shine upon the jetty which with its lines leads the eye right through the picture to the silhouetted buildings in the back ground. Good focus, contrast and detail.

Regards,
Robin.

What a neat shot Fred, like the starry look on the sun, blue sky, low angle, focus and frame with reflected light on the walkway.

Neat sun burst effect you got in this shot Fred. The perspective of looking down that long pier towards the buildings is great. Like the shot and the view of the city in the distance. Well done.
