The (unexpected) circular lens flare in this photo seems to me as if the Sun were inviting the Earth to follow its intangible light steps, this orbit of light.
............................................................................................................................................................................
This is the sunset of one of the last days of 2015 summer at Madrid, Spain. The lens used was the Sigma 18-35 / 1.8 Art, at 20f. Should you see the photo with a good screen, you will be able to appreciate the Mediterranean open forest below the sun flare. This kind of open forest is called "Dehesa" and is formed by drought resistant evergreen oak trees and shrubs, like the Quercus Ilex, Quercus Coccifera and Quercus Suber. (File#: 2015-09-19 18.00.37_1_DxO-C).

Stunning! I love your interpretation. I agree, the orb draws you into the magical aura. Wispy clouds dance perfectly above the starburst highlighting mystical beauty. The image has life and movement, very organic. Gorgeous work!

This is amazing! How did you create the lens flare ring?

Thak you! The lens flare ring just "appeared". I did not intend to get it. Probably is the result of a combination of light, aperture, speed and type of lens.
