Landscape Photo Competition 2014 No 2 : Entry Number 208

Judges Comment

This has the same problem as photo n°233. The highlights are very burned out and although that bright white may get plenty “wow” comments when seen on the computer screen it is basically a burned hole in your photograph, there is no information at all in those areas and technically speaking this is incorrect. This would have been nicer if you could have caught the sun partially behind the clouds…You would still get the star burst effect but would greatly reduce burn out and flare.
