Workshop Note
I have a hard time getting images to upload with the same saturation as I see in Photoshop when I save them...so I'm not sure if I darkened the flare enough or too much on others' monitors. Anyway Emma wanted to know if there was a way to remove the lens flare at lower right by the rock. I duplicated the image and on the layer below I used contrast until that flare looked correct...but all the rest of the image looked horrible. Then I went to the duplicated image and erased with a soft, low opacity brush until the flare blended with the rest of the image. It could be done with an adjustment layer also.

PS
Now that I have uploaded it I can see that it could have been a little darker on some of the flare area. The flare had disappeared entirely before upload. It is just a matter of fine tuning.
