Playing with Flare

This shot was an experiment for me. Let me know what you think.

I like this shot but the little flare is ruining it for me.

I like this shot but the little flare is ruining it for me.

And this is why I gave up trying to use flares creatively.

Creative flares are best with a semi-nude model...or a model in gauzy white clothing, backlighted by the setting sun...

Thanks for your comments. I agree that this shot would have been better without the flare. This was the first time for me to see circular lens flare, and I guess I got a little too excited. Usually, I get these strange shapes that look horrible.
