I agree completely - if flare can be incorporated into the
composition, it can be just as pleasing as a well-placed shadow.
FWIW - I feel the same way about grain - there's times that grain
adds a great deal to a picture. I love to push Tri-X for this very
effect. And yet, you'll often hear shooters bemoan the amount of
grain in a picture.
Crux of the matter for me is that grain and flare are simply parts of
the medium, every bit as much as varying perspective effects by focal
length. Used properly, they can enhance your photographs, and
shouldn't be seen as universal negatives.
