Oops. Meant to add an example of what an inferior lens will give you. Notice the circles in the center of the frame are nice and round, but some of the spots around the outer edges have an octagonal shape starting. I sold this lens...

Thank you for taking the time to comment, Sarah and Tony. Yes, that top spot is a bit bright. Sarah, this was made by focusing on a glare of light reflecting off a car in the far distance. I was originally focusing on the plant (a pretty purple thing, actually) but saw this spot and decided to center the flower inside for a silhouette and make it the subject instead. The trick is to open up to your widest aperture so the circle is round, i.e., f/8 will give you a smaller octagon of light.

Good concept, but my eye keeps jumping up to the bright area above the circle of light. Perhaps if you burned this area in a little or moved some of the blue color to it.

Thanks for the low rating, whoever gave it. Very constructive.

Interesting composition Piper. How did you create the circle? Only slight nit-pick, the bright bit at the top is a bit distracting. Good concept though.
