How to make this lens flare using photoshop?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to make a simple and elegant lens flare similar to this picture. Any suggestions?

THANKS:)

P.S... I'm trying to avoid the 80's sci-fi lens flare that I see as a default lens flare in most programs

The best tool I know of to do that is Pro Digital's Star Filter Pro 4.

There are several flare brush sets out there like this one

Set some Size and Scatter jitter and up the spacing, and paint them in.

For this I have

Size jitter 100%

Scatter 500% (both axis)

Spacing 30%

It is a star filter.

You can get plug ins to do it (e.g. StarFilter Pro) , or as I did recently, just put them on with brush.

A dot in the middle and a fading & narrowing brushstroke
