Please Manhater, it's lens flare. I'm a professional photographer among other things. Years and year of experience go to say it's lens flare.
Download the 30 day free trial of Adobe Photoshop. Take a picture of anything, or steal a picture off the internet, then open that picture in
photoshop. Go to Filters, Lighting Effects, Lens Flare. You'll have several options to choose from.
Play with it and create a lens flare to your liking using different options for different style lenses.
THEN, take that fake lens flare you just created, save it, and open it up in this cheap little whatever other program you are using, and do whatever
it is you are doing to 'prove' it's not lens flare, and I'm sure you'll find that even the fake lens flare you created in photoshop with a filter
will show up and be 'proved' as a solid object.
Your insistence is admirable, but, believe me, what you are arguing is not lens flare IS lens flare.
You are embarrassing yourself by arguing otherwise, and you don't even know it. It's really sweet that you want to believe, but, please, try to
level up your understanding so people aren't laughing at you.
