Touching the Sun by taffy

Touching the Sun

For ONS-1. I took it yesterday with today's posting in mind. It's rare to have enough cloud cover to have the sun not blow out the image -- wouldn't have been able to take this today. Processed to crop into the square because there was a large (and uninteresting) pine tree to the left which changed the relationship (and perceived DoF) between the tree and sun. Not terribly imaginative compared to some of the wonderful entries I saw posted, but best I could do today.
I didn't get a shot off for this today- will have to try and make it up tomorrow. It's a tough one for me. This is good though!

I'm so impressed with the imagination and ability to visualize shots like this - way beyond me. Really like this.

This is my fav. It works well with DOF and is really pretty.
