Too much?

Trying to catch up on some pics, and found this one. I'm not usually a fan of lens flare, but I rather like the combination of backlighting and irises. Would love to hear some thoughts on this one.


And to be fair, I may have gone overboard on the processing in an attempt to bring out detail yet preserve the lighting effects. Any comment at all is welcome.

Personally I don't care for the flare, but I love the back lit wings...:)   :) :)

the flare is nice here , gives a nice rainbow effect to it. The right wing stands out for me, very nice and sharp but the rest of the photo seems flat, boring, and no energy to it.. a different background would make it more appealing  .. i know u was mentioning the flare but i cant hold back what i see . i do have to say the other bird that u won in the contest was amazing though... :) :) :)

A fun shot.  I'm more at odds with the dark halo behind the wing on the right than the flare stuff.  Too bad the poor bird doesn't have a prettier head!
