Digital Painting

Tai Chung, Tai Wan

I think I'll have to call these types of pictures digital painting -- I don't think it is a proper representation of the real scene, and you would not be able to see this even if you were there.  I did not use any filter for the effect, I simply close the aperture to almost the minimum to let the lens flare itself.  Then I have to heavy-handedly process the shadows.....  I do belief this is only achievable with digital photography, thus I'll have to call this digital painting, although people would disagree with the "painting" part....  Honestly, this is a rather insipid sunrise picture, the lens flare just makes it less so.....
