    Me too -- these are beautiful examples of shooting into the light. My favourite is the last one despite the lens flare...

    Hi Robert,

    Another good series of these, well done.

    I particularly like the last three and in that last one, for me, the colourful lens flare balances the colourful circles on the ground. The more imaginative could almost suggest that a flying saucer had just exited the top of frame

    Cheers, Dave

    I like them all. I do prefer #1, it is a bit different to the rest.
    Cheers Ole

    Hi folks

    thanks for the comments....

    Izzie, the flare was intentional in the last one.I captured the lenses tae reflect the circle on the ground as Dave mentioned in his post. Spent around 10-15 mins trying tae get the flare all the way down tae the ground but there was either too much sun in-shot, or too little for the flare. This was the best compromise ah could reach.
