Re: Is flare bad?

[Bruce Rubenstein]

When you see the outline of the aperture opening, like you do in the two 
pictures you refer to, that isn't flare, it's ghosting. It isn't bad if 
it works as a compositional element.

Hello to all,

Just a general question.  Is lens-flare considered
generally bad for the photo?
Two samples for your consideration:

and

The first one was just copied from the internet.  The
second one is an actual photo taken by me.  Don't
remember if it's with a pentax lens or not.
Thanks.
