Landscape Photo Competition 2014 No 1 : Entry Number 411

Judges Comment

I am afraid the flair from the sun spoils this, particularly the pink. You can greatly reduce flair while keeping the starburst of the sun by photographing it when partially masked by something. For example as it is just rising/setting behind the mountain or through branches of a tree… There are also very high quality lenses which reduce flair considerably but at a cost.
