Photo Friday: "Rainbow Halo" (Two days early. . .because I can!)

Somehow, last week, when I edited photos for Photo Friday, I skipped over this photo.  Again, this photo breaks all rules of exposure mostly because of its blown out highlights.  That being said, I LOVE the "painted" bokeh, sun haze, sun rays, and most of all its rainbow sun flare.  I was a little unsure of this photo until one of my best digital photography students chose this photo as one of her "favorite" photos on Flickr.  As always, critiques are welcomed and encouraged.
