Not as defined but I reckon it suits the picture.

One thing that impressed me about this shot is the quite good veiling glare performany of the rokkor wide open. lesser lenses would have cried pitifuly in this situation methinks

For what it's worth I'll throw in my 2 cents.

If there is, it is well hidden. However, I see a nice diffraction star.

both edean and helimat's shots show no flare, but rather a nice sunstar. Not quite the same thing as flare but nice shots regardless.

Edit: actually, not much in all four of the most recent shots. Just to clarify (stolen from wikipedia):

Lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens.

Great examples on the page I stole this from here.

Here's some B&W flare. Shot with my Bronica and 65mm lens
btw, the bright white mark on the far right isn't flare, it's a crease in the negative that I didn't bother to touch up
