Nicely done, EJ. How does one get the sunburst? It really makes this shot.

It's the reason for the f-stop I used.  The smaller you make the aperture opening, the more the light bends around the aperture blades due to diffraction and the more likely you are to get a starburst.  Some lenses, like the Sony 16-35 f/4 are particularly good at creating starbursts.
