I don't know how to control the rays, I've had 4 people tell me this now. I did want "sunstars" so I was shooting at f/22. I didn't think they'd be so long I guess. I don't mind them but everyone else seems to hate them... could it be my UV filter?

The smaller your aperture, the more starbursting you are going to get. At f/22, you get a lot. I don't mind it, personally. Looks cool. I think #3 is my favorite, due to the slightly different angle. The pond looks better in that one to me.

#3 wins for more texture. It has more value overall. Very good! Great capture.

Beautiful shot. However, the leaning windmill is distracting. Should be an easy fix in PP than hang it on a wall :)

I like the first or last one. In the first one the rays are a more natural color as opposed to the color of the rays in #2.
