Thanks Matthew - not my art, rather the IOS's which I simply wanted to 
examplify when I selected the shot for my PAW.

Very little adjustment here - I had to shoot three frames until I got 
the sun about right on the back display - adjusted the RAW file to keep 
the highlights within range, so I lowered contrast down to zero, and 
push the saturation and vibrance levels a click - I also like the effect 
- Lluis told me it reminds him of paintings by Sisley - I love the thought.

It does more often than not - I read an article that says even if the 
back display blinks there's still hope (shoot and develop for the 
highlights they says - so from the raw file you stick the flashing red 
light to the limit, and adjust the rest in consequence - of course 
decreasing contrast helps, to a certain extent, and depending on what 
you're shooting.

Thanks for viewing and commeting
