Rule number #6 of digital graphic design: never, ever, use the lens flare effect. Do not use lens flare. Avoid it. Avoid lens flare.

Rule number #8: do not use smart blur. Also, do not use lens flare.

I LOVE lensflare personally, but I dont use blur. Thats just my graphics settings! (Yes, my computer ROYALY sucks) And thanks biggles! Do you have the raw photo to send me? I want to play with it! (I like playing with effects and add-ons to see what I really like) But it looks BEAUTIFUL! (Also, I find with my texture settings, on computers, my AH screens look dreadful, but when compressed in size by my iPod, they come out MUCH better!

sorry, i was dumb and didn't save the original

seriously though, don't use lens flare on it, it makes the thing look cheap tacky and very fake.

I like the bright flare, I feel it adds drama. Can you suggest something else that would work equally well?

lens flare is cruddy for that. if you want a glare effect, i use lighting effects, and place a bright light somewhere on the pic, then use diffuse glow on that. after that, you touch it up a bit, and you have a great looking sun, with reflections and glints on the plane's surfaces.

Using GIMP?

Image --> Filters --> Lighting Effects --> Flare
