Thanks again. I think I really got lucky with the timing on this one.

Congratulations. I'm glad the trip was a success for you. The diagonal lines of the flowers and the deer add a dynamic feel to a very serene photo. A good balance.

This is really emotionally beautiful, Charlie. Good work. The white flowers look like fairy dust on the scene. ~Lydia

Many thanks. This was an insane weekend for me. I pitched a tent a few miles East of Port Angeles, cooked dinner, then drove up the mountain road to get photos of the setting sun. Around 9:30 pm, I drove back to the campground, slept for about three hours, and drove back up to get photos of the rising sun. By 8:00 that morning, I had broken camp, and had begun my 3 hour drive home. I was too tired to attempt any photo processing until the next day. But as is common with our art form, it only takes one success to make the trip worth while.
