I have this image, and I've been watching videos on how to edit out lens flare but none have seemed to work on this image. I'm fairly new to editing and a lot of the techniques were quite advanced so I might have been missing something while editing. Does anyone have any videos to recommend or any tips that would help with this particular image?
This picture will be difficult because of the texture and thealignment of the wine slopes.I did try (but did not devoted too much time) with succes-
sive and repetitive heal and clone brushes and came to so-
me result… If the solution would please you, I don't know.I could post with your permission.

Yes please go ahead. Anything would be helpful. Thanks for the effort!

Yes I beleive I had a soft GND on. Ideally would’ve wanted a reverse grad but didn’t have it.
This image has already been edited in post processing though. Now that I look back at the original, I don’t really like the edit I made here (clouds are too dark), might do it again when I have the time. Main issue though is getting rid of that huge lens flare!
Thanks! Looks much better. My main issue though was how to make the wine fields blend in without that sudden shift in color. Clone stamp didn’t really help me much in that regard (made it look very patchy).
I guess as you rightly pointed out the texture in this image makes it difficult to fix.
IMO don't worry about it. Fix the overall edit, and leave it be. If you really don't want lens flare, shoot to avoid it, which means putting your sun below the horizon or behind a cloud or high in the sky.
That said, I think this image is mostly a learning opportunity for you.
It is a learning opportunity. Had me searching on how to avoid lens flare in the first place. TBH I underestimated how difficult and time consuming it is to remove it in post processing. Next time will definitely try to avoid it. Thanks!
The flare doesn't look all that bad. A little increase in contrast clears that up. I do see some serious ghosting, however, where you have a couple of solar reflections from a couple of your lens elements. Nikon Shooter has cleaned one of them up effectively. The other bad ghost image is just to the south of the solar disc itself. Try working on that.
