The Tower of Babel in Arches National Park, reaching for the sun.

I am impressed with how well this lens handles the direct sunlight. There was only a minuscule flare at the tip of one of the rays, easily removed. And the contrast in the image didn't suffer at all.

A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

In general, primes are so much better for shooting into the sun and this illustrates that well.

Yes...I am pretty sure what would happen with my 14-24 in this case.
Nice to get some clouds in the sky here.
