Hi Harold, as you said, this is different; I like the wispy foliage and the grackle part but for me, there is too much blown-out area in the center although I do like the yellow and orange patterns.

I like, I'm sorry I didn't have the short lens with me, so no back lit stuff for me :(
It may be ab optical illusion, but you may want to try a few points CW rotation.
Hope you enjoy tonight's project :)

Hey Harold,
Ther you go pointing into the sun again!!!.....while I agree with Katie that there is a bit too much white/blown in the FG.....a simple crop above the curved lowest grass tip.....helps this one. You may have been better off trying to underexpose this one even more if you had the chance.....but you have conveyed the feeling of looking into the sun.....which is kind of cool!
