This is amazingly beautiful! I LOVE the intensity of the sun in this shot, so unusual and so well done! Gorgeous pastel colors as well, this is stunning :-)

great color intensity and composition. My only gripe is that the blades of grass on the left look pixilated. The same thing has happend to me before when I have used neat image after downsizing the image to 640 px. Maybe that's the culprit?

This looks like a painting. The sun is so bright I feel like I shouldn't look at it. My eyes instantly drop to the patch of grass which has retained a good exposure.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.

Très très contre-jour . . .6

This is really something, a different use of color banding well done...

Wow, very impressive and original.
You've really conveyed the ultimate power of the sun here complete with photosynthesis. Brilliant

Although I really like the compositional aspects of this photograph with the backlit grass, clear blue sky with faint, almost pastel, clouds in the distance, the sun is just too powerful. How to correct it, I don't know. Maybe the use of a graduated ND filter or something. This is not something I have attempted, and I do not believe I could come up with something even this good to begin. So, kudos to you. Nice work, just keep it up.
