Every time I see it, my first thought is always, "Nobody - but *nobody* - gets that lucky with flare." Speaking for myself, flare always homes in like some malign cruise missile on either the bride's face or the groom's crotch.

Just remember that anyone with a finger and an opinion can leave a comment saying something looks awful. People tend to learn more and improve their photography skills from constructive criticism. I am no different. So we've established that the fake lens flare looks bad. Now what could I have done to make it look more realistic? Lowered the opacity? Blurred it a little? Do you have any examples of images you've created using this technique? It's all about all of us learning and growing as photographers so any tips you can give me on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Dz Thanks for the feedback on my picture Al.

The fake lens flare in that picture is awful - I guess you can see where people go wrong as well so you don't make the same mistakes!
