Sun Spots - Showers of sunlight nourish us all
I used the smallest aperture available and positioned the camera so that the direct sun was just peeking past the trunk of the tree.

For me the starburst is more the "subject" than the foliage in the shot. But maybe that's my visual bias?

For me the starburst felt kind of like an interloper or an overly loud relative. I'd call it your viewpoint rather than bias :)

it's really the only strong focal point in the shot, so that is not a bias. pretty though
