You have to work hard to make that Ultron flare, but it will do it (albeit in a rather controlled manner).

I really like this one for some reason. Not sure it fits the thread (like many others posted), but I liked looking at it. I feel like it shouldn't work, but it did for me.

Thanks (I think!). I would be interested to hear what it is about it (or others in the thread) you consider isn't contre jour? Sunlight was pouring down the street bouncing off the snow and wet stone. The sun may even be in the blown out area; if not it was close. To me that is against the day.

By the way, that textured rainbow flare that seems to exist in its own plane is something I have seen only from the Samsung NX100 with 30mm pancake. It is a rare effect that I can only recall happening a handful of times. For me it follows your theme of shouldn't like it but I do.
