Personally, since you asked, I think that the sun was taken at a time when it was really too bright. I think I might also take out the light poles as I'm not sure that they add anything to the picture, but tend to focus our attention even further on the overly bright sun. I do, however, like the "beam" that is coming from the sun..makes it look like a star..well, the star that it is :)
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
I agree with PJ's assessment. Some cropping also would improve it. I love the colors and contrast. It looks like a quaint setting with the white poles around the sidewalk. Terry
I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
