Usually you try to avoid lens flare because it takes away from the picture but sometimes it gives the whole picture a pretty cool effect. I was shooting the sun through the bushes with a very small aperture around F 22 so I could get the starburst effect. The way the breeze made the bush move, I got the effect of two stars with a huge halo lens flare.
oh my goodness, i love this! it makes me think of the book my friend just wrote--it's about faeries and this totally looks like their world. very cool.
