I'm into lens flare a bit lately - this was a shot on a beautiful (but chilly!) morning on the Phoenixville tow path...

Fascinating capture. Weird how the dynamic flare and the static scene interact. Nicely done.

Really nice angle. And your lens flare seems to be almost refracted into a spectum of some kind just below the bridge and above the water in the space where the bridge is reflected.

HDR??

@PShorten: you are correct pshorten! I use a gentle hand with hdr, so it may have tricked the average Joe, but not you!

Very effective flare here. Pretty view. It is nice to see such subtle HDR.

I agree with Laurie. I really like the subtleness of this. I never would have guessed it was HDR. I really like the composition of how the arch comes out of the upper corner of the frame. The wide angle view also adds a neat perspective. The only thing I would change was to clone out the vegetation in the foreground to give this a "cleaner" look. You may still win that bet that you made me!
