I wanted to try out adding some diffraction spikes through my camera lens so I 3D printed a mask to stick on top, I like the concept but if I do it again I’ll probably make them a bit thinner so I can tone it down a bit in the final image

Good photo, only if there were none of the huge artificial diffraction spikes.
I like diffraction spikes, but these are a little excessive for my personal taste. Other than that: nice photo.
