Cool pic Joe. how did you achieve that starburst effect on the lights? I remember a lens filter called a 'starburst gradient' or something like that back when I was into film photography. Also we used to simply hold a piece of window screen in front of the lenses for a similar effect...Just curious if that is a digital effect or what..
