I spotted the sun shining through this window and wanted to see if I could capture the star pattern - and I was able to! Couldn't avoid the lens flare, but maybe that just adds to it.

What I learned in taking this photo: Sometimes taking a photo just confuses those around you. I took several images, moving around slightly to get various reflections, and once I put the camera down a gentleman nearby said, "Are you taking a picture of the window?" The confusion on his face was obvious.
Talk about capturing the light!!! in many of the rays it is possible to discern rainbow colours.. Some of the 'blobs' of flare are on the ends of rays, others nestle between them and look great - they really add to the shot..

This is so well done Ron.. Great eye, Great image..

Viewing on black really brings out the colours of the stonework as well as that fab sunburst.

Fabulous shot and a great story. I get lots of conversations like this. One chap even asked '"What are you doing' I replied with the obvious 'Taking a photo' the look on his face was just as you say 'confusion' ha ha.

Haha, I've been asked that a lot, especially when I have my head in the bushes looking for bugs. Lovely sun flare!

You nailed it! I guess you have to be a photographer to understand why anyone would take a photo of a window.
