The sun spot is a but distracting, but overall nice color, sharpness and framing.

A very stunning shot! The only thing I'd change is try to keep that pesky lens flare out but otherwise excellent

This is nice, except for the solar flare. Sometimes solar flare can look appealing, but here it just dosen't work for me.

The lens flare at the tip of the fern is a little distracting.
