  You probably really hate J.J. Abrams movies --Andrei (talk) 10:02, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Of course, anyone is free to reject such a photo because of the light effects, this is completely valid, such effects are definitely a matter of taste. Nevertheless I want to make a technical note: In such an extreme contre-jour situation, where the sun is somewhere mid in the image, it is really difficult to avoid lens flares completely. In fact, I’m rather surprised that there aren’t more flares in this photo – many lenses would produce a whole series of light spots and so-called ‘ghosts’ across the image in this situation. The light effect visible in this photo also seems to consist less of lens flares and more of diffraction spikes, an effect that is often even brought about on purpose. Overall, I would call the shot remarkably clean (considering the extreme backlight, see above). --Aristeas (talk) 10:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment I appreciate your remarks. However, I'm not sure about the composition, either. It's a pretty scene, but the big lamppost closest to the viewer calls too much attention to itself and causes a tension that doesn't fit in with the rest of the scene. I also find the long sunray distracting because of its direction in the context of the rest of the picture. In terms of movies and TV shows, I do find it strange that lens flares are often deliberately used. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:38, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Thank you. (And I agree with you completely regarding the overuse of lens flares etc. in movies and TV: IMHO most times that’s just kitsch ;–).) --Aristeas (talk) 07:27, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
