Purposeful Lens Flare

I went on a backstage tour of Animal Kingdom last week, and was having fun playing around with some purposeful lens flare photos. There were a lot of trees and the sun was high in the sky. Lens flare can be overdone, but it can also be quite artistic. Below are some examples of different ways to take advantage of a lens flare. These looks were achieved by adjusting the location and angle of the incoming light into the lens, and the colors were tweaked a bit in post-processing. Enjoy!
