Thanks
#5 is good
bk4, i rather like the lighting in the original image...sans the flare.
Thanks SrBiscuit, I did 2 things on this picture without knowing what he was trying to accomplish at first. I took out the lens flare on the water, and I tried to tone down the brightness of the shot thinking the sun was blowing out the picture too much for my own taste. But if the original need was just the lens flare, then here it is:

And yeah Chris, you've looked better dude. ;)

I agree. If you take the time to actually do it yourself I'd try and keep the brilliance of the sun in tact. It's not hard at all to photoshop the glare on the water, but keep your sun shining. It brings contrast and concept to the photo.
Paul M, Thank you for taking the time to do that. I appreciate it and i like the way it turned out.
You're welcome. May I recommend downloading GIMP (free) and learn the basics so you can take pride in doing this when you need to without asking for "help". You will only benefit in the long run if you put the time and effort in.

I guess i am just a newbie and need to learn the lingo :)
I'm here for ya', man! :)
That being said, I don't think there is a way to fix the glare in this case. It's the kind of thing you would have to compensate for in the original exposure, and in the case of shooting directly into the sun, that's somewhat challenging to do. :)
A circular polarizer would cut down on the glare off the water a bit, but as I said... I kinda like it.
Yeah i know i should invest some time in developing my skills but i needed this picture for a project for school and i have a dead line.

Yeah, I was thinking of the reflection on the water until I saw Paul M remove the lens flare.
BTW, Chris... your avatar is going to give me nightmares. Thanks bro.
but the big eyes are a little "unsettling".
