It also depends on whether or not you like lens flare. I happen to be quite fond of it. It's all subjective.The lens flare is unfortunate. I find that a lens hood and small aperture works for me to prevent it, but it also depends on the particular quality of the lens and its characteristics.

What a boring world this would be if nobody thought outside the box, if everything was technically perfect, if there were no room for artistic license.It also depends on whether or not you like lens flare.

Well, I am sure that there are probably a few people who like photos with major technical flaws like blurred subjects or bad exposure as well, although certainly not enough to change basic expectations/standards in photography for pros or experienced enthusiasts.

I find this comment to be absurd and saddening that someone actually thinks this way.Technical flaws are usually considered artistic license by either those that are new to photography or those that wish to assert their amateur independence from following any "rules" or recognizing basic "standards".
Well said.:thumbup:Lens flare is what it is. What concerns me the most is the cropping off of the top of her head. Not only is the top of her head lost, but the skyline in those rocky hills or mountains is also lost, and I think some of the photo's context is also lost--she appears to be atop of a hill or mountain summit, at sunset time. I think her head overlapping the background skyline would have really helped further the impression of being high on a mountain top, with the sun setting behind her. The in-camera exposure looks just right for a backlighted person. The flare reduces overall contrast,and shifts the colors...if you don't like lens flare this is a bad picture, but if you do, it's not a bad picture. There's no doubt that without the flare, the image would look very different. Some people really go out an actively try and use this kind of flare. In this case, I think the flare's okay...but the top of her head being cropped bothers me.
