if you had gotten the head light behind the subject, this photo would be 10x better. it would have removed a very distracting hot spot and eliminated the lens flare.
I love this photo. If only.....the lens flare is extremely distracting and continues to draw my eye right to that spot! It is hard to pull my eyes away to see the rest of the picture.
So...were you in the rain also taking this photo, or comfortably warm in shelter? :P Very cool entry for the challenge. Aggressive processing, but works well for this image. Good luck.
