An absolutely delightful image, Jeff!! I always wondered whether lens flare was accepted in comp or not - I generally clone it out, so hopefully, if this is accepted, I will know in future not to bother with the cloning. :) #11099241

Extraordinary use of HDR, Jeff!! The image looks the same as the human eye would see this scene without being exaggerated.

My personal take on lens flares is that if, as an element of the image, it contributes favorably to the image it is acceptable, if it creates a distraction, obviously it is not.

In the case of this image, IMHO, it contributes positively.

Very nicely done!! #11099724

I think it depends on whether it contributes or distracts from the composition. Works nicely here, Jeff.
