It`s a bit on the faint side but you can make out the two sun-dogs, the 22 degree solar halo and the upper tangent arc....... I think. The image was taken on holiday last year in Dorset with the Sony a380.

Well captured Doug - that's a great image!

It could even be processed a bit to highlight those features a bit more.

Nice image, Doug. I agree with Mark, an increase in contrast would make it even better.

I`ll see if I can enhance the image.

I don`t know whether this is any better, but I have given it a tweak.
