Guess I should have elaborated on that. Sometimes subtlety gets lost on it's
way from my Norwegian speaking brain to the keyboard.
When a photographer sees this image, he thinks star filter, not lens flare.
I consider lens flare a flaw in the lens producing light of any shape that's
not really there. I just don't believe that the stars in Karl's image could be
generated by a lens. I know flare shapes and sizes depend on the lens, but
these are way too big. Okay, I guess you might argue that foo still is foo even
if it's out of scale, but not if it has a much stronger resemblance to bar.

Me sig, you Jane.
