Taken this sumer during my trip to Norway. This photo corresponds to Ramberg, in Lofoten Islands.

After struggling for a while cleaning the water droplets from my lens I finally decided to play it to my advantage.

Canon 5DmkII + 16-35 at 18mm.
Polarizer + ND grad 2 stops hard.
1,3s; f/16; ISO 100

Nice light and composition here Gorka. The sun star looks great. I'm undecided about the water droplets. They do add some interesting shapes around the sunburst, but I also find them slightly distracting.

Love the contrasting cold and warmth here, nice composition too with good textures and water movement.
Cleaning the dust from your lens before shooting into the sun will eliminate the 'blotches' around the sun star

Beautiful sunstar. It works really well with the rugged rocks. An interesting take on the water drops on your lens but IMO, the extra effort to remove them would have been worth while. or not. perhaps they'll grow on me

Those darn water drops can be a real pain. The composition and lighting are set off well by that beautiful sun star. While this is for sure a keeper, I do think I would prefer a water drop free version.
