I like lens flares, and I think they' re just giving the pictures that certain something.
I like the wider one most (your first image). In my eyes, it has the most dramatically atmosphere.Great photos @shaka
I think this picture wouldn't be so appealing without the rays and reflexes at the sun and the reflexes in the right half of the picture.
Great example. I like these sun-behind-trees shots very much. One reflex adds little rainbow-effect at the edge of the meadow in the right half. Thanks for sharing!
You have a good view that you have seen this faint rainbow-colored reflection. :-)Thank you @shaka
