Hi Alan, I was looking again at your photo, but do not see a flare. Lens flare is basically glare from the rays of the sun (which I did not see here) or something that gives off a high amount of light.I think on this picture is seems more like an orb. If you want to identify a photo as either lens flare or a genuine orb photo here are some pointers that can help.First you should check the shape of the so-called "orb" or "orbs" in question. If they are not circular, for example, they are hexagonal in shape and are multi-colored then you most likely have lens flare. But here, I do not see any particular shape so I think it is an orb as they are always white in color. Or perhaps it is another phenomenon such as dust or drop of water on the lens... the like. It needs more experimenting.
