I tend to avoid it as many do, because of flare and especially contrast, but you've made it work here, Radisa! Nice sun-star, no flare spots, no dust spots. That flowing curve of the grassy embankment flowing through the image. Pleasantly simple composition.
Thank you Chris!
Sometimes shooting in the sun is tricky in some technical aspects and takes some practice, but the results can be well worth the effort. Of course it is necessary to have a quality lens less prone to the flare.

or - if shooting from a tripod - use the multiple-finger method - this will work with any (cheap) lens. Only thing is that depending on the lens it will not give you a very nice sun ray / sun star

Yes shooting with tripod is mandatory and thanks for useful input. Canon 16-35 L lens have a very beautiful sun stars.
