Hi Harold,
Repost is much stronger. I would play with this one some more as to different possible crops. I've tried one below.....but going back to original was wondering if I cropped out to much of the clouds in the sky. I also used Robert Amoroso's USM trick on it (30 amount, 30 Radius, and 0 threshold) and it definitely popped! Also cloned out a little balck from sun. I think you have a real winner here and no matter your choice of tweaks.....the original is a super keeper! Let me know what you think,
Roman
I like the idea of getting the sun out of the middle by recrop (note that it is in the middle due to this being a zoom blur). I would leave more of the top.
later and love and way to go on the creativity. artie
