I think Jackie is right - a smaller sun or stop down a bit and bring up the brightness/shadows in processing to compensate. I love it though - sunny, bright and cheering.
PS just emailed Jackie an idea for the next painting, so she can pass that to you if you fancy it too. She said it was my turn!
Beautiful!
I only managed to get star bursts with night photography... Your light source (the sun) might be too big and bright. It might work when you only focus on the reflections on the water. But that would give you a total different photo. And I really like the composition of this one!
However, you gave me an idea and I will experiment a little in the next couple of weeks!
