Starburst twinkle through the trees

We were invited to a farewell party at friend's home in the hills behind Los Gatos, California. They have a big house, and a backyard with tall redwood trees. I took this shot of the settling sun through the redwood trees with the Dream Lens, which produces interesting lens flares and sunbursts.

 

I processed a balanced, realistic, and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
