> Gorgeous.  Little touch of lens flare that works well.

Thank you. I've avoided working with this image because of the lens
flare. I've gone through a number of years where I considered these
flaws to be fatal to the image. As a general rule, I believe that the
technology and technique should be transparent in the final result.
Lens flare would obviously be a flaw that my general rule chokes on.

However, maturity and a change of attitude has shown me that not every
image has to be technically perfect. In fact, in my pursuit of
perfection, the art has suffered and I've managed to produce an
excessive amount of technically perfect drivel.

If anything, in this picture, the lens flare helps draw the eye into
the valley and steer the visual flow.
