[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After a few hours wait, the sun slowly inched its way down the horizon.

I was sitting on the beach of Boracay with my camera on a tripod when I took this shot.

In PP, I converted the RAW file from Photoshop, adjusted the levels to darken scene and get the silhouette of the sail, increased contrast through curves, saturated a little to get the color punch, sharpened, reduced noise, resized for TL, then sharpened again to recover lost pixels.

Critiques needed. :) Thanks in advance.

Pierre, beautiful sunset shot. Nice colors, reflections and composition. :) Vandana

Magnificent capture here Pierre! The PP work on the saturation and levels creates a surreal and eyecatching work.
Perfect metering for the sun, not overexposed at all - very well done!!

Hi Pierre,
What a perfect moment to capture the sunset! I can't help but be repetitious...WOW. There is drama in abundance here...but especially I like the low POV it offers a wider view of the unfolding drama.
Best wishes,
Celina
