I like your sun flair Don. I tried the same thing a couple of days ago but lost my patients.
The major improvements on mine were opened shadows, whites and increased exposure. I did a mid tone luminosity mask to brighten the mid tones. The sky is the same but I added the clouds with a white cloud brush.
Thanks Jim. There are a couple of different ways to do it Photoshop, depending on the effect you are trying to achieve. The glowing sun, the beams and the lens flare are three separate techniques that I merged together for the final result.
