Freshness

I really love this shot!

I think the contrast is perfect; the bokeh effect comes through beautifully and harmonizes nicely with the darker tones at the edges of the photo.

I also really like the composition. I think that having the sun in the upper center of the shot is a perfect place for it. Also, the lens flares create a really nice line that draws the eye right the the particles/ dust.

The particles/ dust is definitely my favorite element of the entire piece! They almost look like sparkles, and remind me of a fantasy land or something. I think that you managed to capture the light with them perfectly. I love how well they contrast on the left side of the sun, they're so crisp and clear.

Great work!
