Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine

A bit south of Carmel-By-The-Sea along the California coast is a tiny valley covered in lily flowers in late winter and early spring. We went there for sunset. This place used to be a hidden gem, but now it tends to get crowded on weekends. I am using a vintage Dream Lens for this shot, which produces strong lens flares when a bright object like the sun shines into the lens.

 

I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
