I’m of course referencing the ring of light found in religious and literary iconography.
The dramatic halo effect in this image is courtesy of the optical “flaw” known as lens flare — something I’ve harnessed in the past to convey my view of life as a dream.

Nice use of flare.. I like it.
Thank you Brian.
That is a good use of the flare in this shot. Well done, mate.
Thank you Trevor.
Beautiful! I really love the way you used the flare to shot this picture:-). Also very nice to see that the color of the girl eyes are caputered as how they are in real life. Thumbs up!
Thank you Jeroen. I was fortunate to get this image.
