What a great and right way of using the photoshop tools, for once ! I've never seen a so beautiful and effective result ! It could be very useful in digital painting and concept art, i must try that !

Gosh, an impressive tutorial... and I never knew the lense flare in Photoshop, often overused in artwork and rather rubbish looking, could be made to be used so effectively. Blurring it out has really helped.

Great work.

I know what you mean about lens flares, yeah :< Luckily PS offers a great array of various basic effects, which with some additional processing can turn out very decent looking ))

I think the sun looked better before you added the rays, but that's just my opinion.
