Sunset Coco Beach 01

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
We usually think of sunsets in conjunction with beaches and islands. Why? Does humidity and water have something to do with sunsets? The answer is yes...and no. Large masses of water and a hot sun do combine to produce dramatic clouds.
But that's not the main reason we usually see the most dramatic sunsets from a beach. The reason is more subtle.
The main reason we associate beaches with sunsets is that they give us an unobstructed view of the setting sun on the horizon. No mountains in the way. No buildings. No city lights. Just a flat horizon and the setting sun. Plus a smooth expanse of water to reflect the colors!
Plus, if you're hanging around on the beach, you're probably relaxed and in the mood to enjoy a great sunset. You have time to watch the sun go down and savor the changes that take place over time.

One of the first sunsets I've seen without a sun, but I don't think it takes away from the shot at all. Not having the sun emphasizes all of the colors in the sky, Thanks for sharing.
Very nice picture. Lovely sunset. I love the colors in the sky. Excellent note. Just a little dark in the water though, might have played with the curve or level a bit.
Nice photo, Iris. Emphasis is on the pretty sky after the sun has set and that is not often considered. Those of us lucky enough to witness sunsets over the ocean never take them for granted.
Waow ! Wonderful color range ! Incredible : hop ! to my favorite !

Very original indeed, Iris. Not only a sunset without a sun, but reflection in the clouds instead of in the water. Well done, TFS.
Excellent lighting and atmo! Very nice photo!
