Hi there,

I really enjoy taking pictures of sunsets. however I find that I keep getting unwanted artifacts in the picture. For instance, in the picture I have attached, you will see a comet-tail like artifact in the lower left of the image - it's almost as the light rays of the sun are being refracted to that area. Can anyone provide information as to why this anomaly exists (I'm using a Canon G5) and offer suggestions as to how to fix it?

thanks

I am wondering if a lens hood would work?
