While it appears that this was very carefully composed, I'd tather see the shot without the metal bar in the foreground- and while I understand you were specifically shooting for this lighting effect, what it does to your subject- or any subject for that matter- leaves the photo looking grainy, washed out and unappealing. Perhaps another composition with more controlled light would have worked better.

The lens flare does nothing for this image, and if you arent careful you can damage your sensor if you point it straight into the sun.

I like the irony but there's a ittle too much glare here. I've had some success with a polorized filter.

Too snappy to me, no real subject, too grainy, uninteresting sunflares, et al.

There is a harsh glare in the lower left hand corner that distracts me. Also the sun's glare does as well.

From my experience, photos with a grainy effect (altho it may be entirely intentional) do not do well. Good luck.
