Normally we try to avoid lens flair (those little orbs and glare) in an image by using a lens hood that provides shade for the front element of the lens. Often lens flair will wash out all contrast in an image and require significant levels or curves adjustments in Photoshop in order to save the image.
However in this case it added an significant creative element to the image that I found appealing. This dramatic effect was enhanced by bumping up the saturation and vibrance. Saturation/vibrance is like tabasco sauce, a few drops make a glorious gumbo. Any more gets overdone very easily. This rule applies to sharpening images as well.
