I know I am going to get a lot of "ewwww, lens flare" comments - but you try shooting directly at the sun with a wide angle lens and NOT getting lens flare - go on, I dareya!!

In true MAK style I am doing one of his predcition things..

Estimated score - 6.2
Dream Score 6.8

I know you guys are going to spank me for that lens flare.

Looks like you should have gone for the head on flying one, it was easily as good as the ribbon winners. I thought this was better though

Not quite to the same level of expertise as some of the other avian images in this challenge, the image is flawed due to a difficult lighting situation leading to rather flat and dull coloring. The indifferent sky and back lighting in addition to the lens flare does not help. A good effort that might have been improved with a little more patience waiting for a different angle and lighting.
