Photography Question

When is lens flare okay?


This is probably a stupid question, but still one I've wondered about. I took some pictures of a stunning view but there are small dots of lens flare where the sun (straight above me) was shining down. Even though my camera does have a lens hood, it was just too much sun. I kind of like them and have seen them in pictures that are noted as good on this site. They give a sense of the sun IMO. But I'm afraid to post the picture because I'm so unknowing about photography I don't know if it would be a no-no. Ha ha.

So, just looking for opinion. Is lens flare never acceptable, or sometimes acceptable, or who knows?

Thanks!
