Really cool starburst through the hole, however the center is a bit bright (blown out) and there is quite a lot of lens flare. Some post processing (double processing) would help this out

Nice catch on the sunburst, Rick. I agree with Luke that the extra diffraction and lens flare effects around the sunburst are distracting. While double processing may help, this looks to me like a case for two exposures, one for the foreground and arch and a second one, at -2 or even -3 EV, for the sunburst

Rick, This is pretty neat shot with the sun setting right through the arch. I agree with Luke and Mark's thoughts here on trying to tame the bright sun and flare. :smile:
