Bear with me, there are hundreds of cattails in this pond.
This is the sun reflected in the pond. I've found that it's a lot easier to do a object/sun combination this way than it is silhouetting the object in the sky next to the real sun. The real deal takes really exacting atmospheric conditions - much more so that the reflected sun. Also when dealing with the reflection it's possible to retain some detail in the object (I dodged the cattail to show more detail but got a little sloppy around the edges and got a little halo - easy to fix).
