I saw this image quite a few times, surely I want the flare, but am not really sure if I want it like how it is here. I have tried a few flare images in the past, probably you have more experience, but was just thinking of sharing whatever little experience I could gather during handling of flare. Even when am head on with the sun, I try not to include the sun or block it with my hand and then just allow the flares to be present on the lens, secondly I move around a little on both sides as well check the angles up and down to see where exactly I want the flare to be present in the frame. This has worked for me at times quite well, but then definitely the intensity of the sun, the clarity of the sky etc all contribute to the difficulty in handling the flare. I saw the other image too, that was much easy to handle and though nice, this one appeals to me more. I like this image a lot and thanks for sharing Ramesh...
