Wrong kind of sun. <g> But excellent shots nevertheless. And no, it would not
help to crop the almost-sun out of the edge because it gives a certain scope
and directionality of light that otherwise would have been missing. But you
knew that.
But I was thinking of an already risen, non-diffused sun more than a gooch
above the horizon.
For example:
Eric's Dock, New Harbor, Nikkor 210mm on Cambo 4x5, Velvia 50.

True, not a Fuji. But I took it because of the shots below. Note how washed out
the Nikkor shot is compared with the Fuji shots below. Fuji can be quirky at
times (not that there's anything wrong with that), but the 90mm and 65mm lenses
mounted on the GWS series, i.e., the Texas Leicas, were two of the best ever,
bar none.
Good Light at Pemaquid, shot with Fuji GSW 690 with 65mm Fuji lens, Velvia 50.

And this one, Pemaquid Sun, again with the Fuji and Velvia 50.

I would not try any of these shots with a digital camera unless I had a dense
ND filter on it, and maybe not even then. While I hate to agree with AG about
anything <g>, film tends to work best for these kinds of shots.
