I'm not sure which of these I prefer. Too much lens flare in the first one?

I like the patterns in this one.

I would say too much flare in shot 1 so it is disqualified and the winner is shot 2 :eek:

Bothe very nice, and I think if you applied a polarizing filter on that first one it would def. be the winner in my books.

I'm liking both ... yes, the lens flare is a bit strong, but it does have its own story to tell, and I am likin that ... second one is very cool, could be a nice black and white abstract .....

I'm swayed towards shot 1, the lines flare maybe on the extreme side but it gives the picture a dream like feeling.

No 2 for me too please. I prefer the colour and the patterns isolated from the background

Thanks all. FYI if anyone thought this was added flare, its not. Its just what happens if you point a lens(even an L lens) pretty much directly at the sun.

I like both of them. As Richard says, first have a dreamy effect that I like it.
