I've taken a picture for you, twice in fact.

These are grayscale shots of a tree with a bright sky in background. I
didn't touch anything but contrast and brightness, the blooming effect is
just caused by the camera lens.

So there is a pure natural blooming in these very bright pictures. But you
still say you wouldn't apply your artificial blooming to bright pictures,
because it wasn't natural?
