La Jolla fisheye blended

[Fabs Forns]

I did this with backlit, fisheye, with f/22 to get the star burst. I blended to exposures to get some color in the foreground.
Used warmth and brilliance and graduated neutral density filter in Nik Color Efex to add punch.

D300, 10.5/2.8 fisheye
Av at f/22
-1/3 Ev to avoid burning the sun too much, a bit dark in foreground.

Fabs,
This is outstanding. Great idea and composition.I like the way you used the flare as part of the image.

[Bud Cline]

Truly inspired, Fabs. I agree with Steve about the inclusion of the flare - and with the rays of the sun pointing right at them - only you could figure out an appealing way to use this to advantage. You are an inspiration as always!! Bud
