The higher res version is certainly more impressive though. Have you done much experimentation with HDR images? I would have guessed that it involved one exposure for the shadow tones and one for the highlights. I've never played. No objections whatsoever here to the flare effect. I suppose there I was mentally conditioned to look for the iris shape too. How much of the range can you capture in a print?

What I actually did to achieve this image was blend 9 different exposures together (from EV -4 to EV4, 1 stop difference: you can see the motion blur in the water surface) via PS HDR, tone mapped it, and then converted the result to B&W, sharpened different portions of the image, added some slight grain overall, and warmed it up a bit with PS photofilters sepia. Finally I removed the aperture markings from flare manually. Miracles don't exist: at f16 at 28mm (digital equivalent) you cannot get this in one shot, let alone avoid flare IMO.
