Lens Flare
Strong light entering a lens can produce flare spots or a veil of light, making the source more tangible while potentially obscuring detail.
Prompt
Use Lens Flare: strong low sunlight just outside the upper-right frame edge enters the camera and creates restrained optical veiling glare plus a short aligned sequence of translucent flare artifacts toward the lower-left. Tie the flare direction to the bright upper-right source and corresponding right-side highlights on the original character and courtyard. Keep the face readable and avoid decorative circles pasted onto eyes. Keep every existing cloud and object outline fixed; no new sun disk, clouds or objects.

Effect comparison
In the baseline image, the courtyard and sky behind Ruk are clearly visible. The lens-flare version adds a faint veil from the strong light at the upper right, with translucent flare spots extending diagonally toward the lower left and stronger highlights on the figure's right side. The source seems to reach the viewer's position, suggesting sunlight falling directly into the lens while keeping the face readable.
