Thanks. That's an uncoated Elmar that I modified for the glow on top of the sharp image. The lens had to be aimed towards the sun, and I had a fun time shielding it with one hand and shooting with the other, since it's very flarey, and there was a strong wind blowing the plants around. I got lucky with a couple frames. I didn't realize I had captured eyes until I was loading the pictures into the gallery, and it was already titled. The scene just said, "Shoot me." Glad this photo appeals to others too.
