I've never really done the sun flare thing. Do you think I was successful?

Technically, yes. I don't find the image appealing, personally, but it's not because of the sun flare. You did a good job with that.

What's off about the picture that doesn't appeal to you?

Not speaking for Bear but.....I think the sunflare was pretty well captured, but for me, the image is not appealing due to 'the almost kiss' - I don't personally find the open mouth on the man to be attractive. It seems that the man is about to eat her rather than kiss her. A half a second later or before, with them actually in a kiss or with her looking lovelingly at her would have worked so much better.

Gotcha. I have one of him kissing her cheek but the sunflare is a little harsher. This was the most well balanced one as far as tone and such.
