Like some software filter effects. . .

. . . the novelty of it may be interesting for a period, and some may even specialize in trying to be creative with extreme lens flare. But mostly flare like that is a distraction and a detraction from one's objectives. So enjoy it for as long as possible - and learn how to avoid it while trying to exploit it.   Granted, sometimes flare can make an image more than what it would be without it, but that's usually a fortuitous mistake (and can be very cool).

It's not unlike a dog with your shoes. . . it might be cute when it initially bonds with one of your shoes like a chew toy, but eventually all your shoes could be ruined. [g]
