The sun sparkles on the River Wensum . . . filtered through trees: Photo 3rd May 2018
The photo was taken looking down from a bridge over the River Wensum, on the outskirts of Norwich, with a faster shutter speed than I’d usually use (the bridge parapet served as tripod), and I managed to capture the sparkles.

And here’s a shot at a more usual angle.

The conventional shot shows a beautiful scene, a lovely place. The first shot is spectacular. It reminds me of a star cluster in space.

Yea, I saw in it a shot perhaps from Nasa. Fortuitous timing, I think.

Nice capture of sparkles!
Not sure what aperture you’re at, but I wonder if a smaller aperture (like f.22??) would also enhance the sparkles by enhancing the sparkly star-bursts.
I find sparkles a challenge to photograph.

1/250 sec. and f5.6. I can’t usually hold it beyond 1/125 as the lens is heavy and towards the end of a walk, as this was, my hands/arms aren’t so steady. Guess I could have gone down a stop or two, but . . .

Ah yes. Those heavy cameras that we lug around on our walks! (A tripod would help, but who wants to lug a tripod as well?)
