[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday was Winter Solstice here in Canada. If you're not familiar with that term, it means it was the shortest day of the year. Today is dull and dreary so I thought I would post a nice summer scene that was taken in Jamaica last April.

Nikon has some relatively new software called Nikon Capture NX. It has some interesting and intuitive ways to adjust images by zones. If you're interested you can download a 30 day trial version at the Nikon website. This image was developed using that software. I've only been using it for a couple of days but my first impression is quite positive.

By the way, if you take a sunset image about 15 or 20 minutes after the sun goes down, you will get a nice bluish, purplish hue that you can see here.

Cheers!

We have the same day "Winter Solstice" in our culture. We usually gather with family, enjoy reading poems, having fruits, nuts & will be stay till late night. We call it " YALDA NIGHT".
Great sunset shot with lovely colors & silhouettes. Well done.

Wonderful shot, Joe! Colours are beautiful and exposure is spot on.
I might have cropped a sliver off the bottom but that's just a matter of personal taste.

Hey Joe... it looks like we were thinking of the samething. Nice warm places... but heck with the weather like we are having now, it is scary. Next time I am down south, I will try your recomendation when taking photos of sunsets. See ya soon pal.

Great sunset image, nicely composed with the silhouette roofs on the left riding the horizon line. Beautiful symphony of blues, yellows and reds.

You have so many beautiful pictures...I love this, great compo, colors and neat image. Thank's for the note!

Pretty! About the solstice: I am glad the days are getting longer. Your picture helps also to brighten the mood.
15 - 20 minutes after? When I was in Hawaii, once the sun went down, it was as if someone just turned the light switch off. Instant darkness.
Anyway, nice and clear pic. Had caught my eye several times already....
Cheers

Hello Joe!

First thanks for the usefull tip about the Nikon Capture NX!
Missed yours when you posted it. Impressive blue cast !
In three months we will be back South (^_^)and enjoy the same. WooHoo!

Hi Joe,

I wonder why I never commented on this photo? First off, the most appealing bit to this shot is the pink and how it flickers down onto that strange blue in the water. The colours blend in with one another well... but they still stand apart. I like this composition, the sky, the water and the little black structure... very nice and simple. TFS!

Biance.

Ji Joe

Great complex image.
Nice colors and composition.

Regards.Amir

Wonderful sky, colors, sharpness... Everything's just perfect!:)
Bravo
