Remove the flare

[Abigail Odom]

I love this image, but I do not love the solar flare that is on the girl's face. Is there a way for me to remove it? I have PS and LR.

This method might be worth a try: http://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/01/ridding-pesky-rainbows.html 

But Damien may have a better solution with levels for you when he gets on!

Hi Abigail, yes, I think I can help with this.  Go ahead and do your raw processing as usual first, then post the photo again (no closeup needed) and we'll discuss.
