Tom, as I had tried to find a compromise with that strong backlight, the raw file was way too dark to begin with, but with careful masking of the pedestrian and upping the saturation I was able to make an attractive image out of it – and a human figure is such a strong attraction for a viewer!
I can see where that might have been an easy one to overlook, but there’s a lot to see there. I’m glad you saved it!

Really nice. As lens makers get better at minimizing flare, it’s getting harder to induce the effect in such dramatic ways.
A dirty front glass on a multi-element zoom was a great help here 😉
