I really like this shot, great flare! Only problem for me is the vignette. It seems a little too "hard", creating a line between it and the rest of the photo. I would soften or reduce it a bit.
It is a good shot and is well composed. The only negative for me is the background - the houses are clutter and detract from what's important. But I like it.
I agree that a square crop could be ideally suited for this pic, but I disagree that the vignette is too strong. But then, I'm a vignette-fan. Nice shot!
Street & Portrait because of the people. Landscape because it's pretty.
Disappointed with AF of Tamron 28-75 2.8, me less happy.
I would suggest playing around with the colors in the sky to match that of the lens flare. Right now it seems like the lens flare is the center of attention, even overpowering the people in the photo. I think if you blend the colors a little it might even things out.

I suggest that you experiment with a square crop to take out the structure on the right and see if this strengthens the shot.
Wonderful setting up this shot!

but I *think* what you're tying to do with the vig, is to detract from what isn't wanted - I'd opt for just removing it (snip).

Agreed on the square crop --- make that sun flare the dead center of the crop and take out the building...cool pic either way.
d'buggs, you guessed right!
thanks everybody for the input. I don't know why i didn't think of cropping before
Here's my second try....(snip--snip)
