Do NOT put your tongue behind your teeth or hold your breath. It makes you look like a goon

At the bottom of the dress is this green tint and on the word "Photography", it is caused by light refracting off the front lens element. It can be reduced by using a lens hood (which i have) but it's a risk you get when shooting into the sun, as you get light landing direct from the sun into the lens, which the lens hood can't prevent. But that's quite minimal considering i shot directly into it

Its quite simple really, lens flare is usually a taboo as they are either distracting and when land on an important part of a photo (ie, the face), it ruins a photo Luckily in this shot, its hard to spot and its on the corner, and i actually quite like it.

If you draw a straight line from where that green tint is at the bottom to the sun, you can see the other flares, one of which is a circle green ring at the bottom of the dress.

Lens flare is a natural thing when filming, and in fact, sometimes people go for that effect, like a lot of Sci-Fi movies, its not a bad thing when under control, you just don't want that flare to land on somewhere important thats all. If it had appeared in the middle of the image, it would've ruined it.
