added lens flare from PS

[john185k]

Not usually a fan of all the filters etc that come with PS Elements, however I think this for once added to the photo.

Maybe I'm more a fan of it as it reminds me of back home...



P.s. It's the lighthouse at Blackhead, welcoming ships into Belfast lough from the irish sea

Lovely shot John!

Very nice shot, but I'd prefer it without the flare. Maybe it could be executed in a softer, more subtle way but as it is I find it too false.

That is a beautiful shot, so much atmosphere! The flare does look false (not that that makes it bad) and I'd be interested to see the image alongside a version without the flare for comparison.

Cheers for the comments guys.

Have reduced the flare in #1 & removed it in #2. Would be interested in your opinions now

I prefer it with TBH. The flare gives a sense of movement and takes your eye away from the blank space. IMHO
