Another amazing evening, after all the horrible weather during August, September has pulled all the stops out once more. I stood at this spot for over 2 hours and took several hundred shots, just a wonderful experience.

Hello Douglas. The sky looks really vibrant with that thick cloud hanging on top the horizon. The silhouettes foreground balances the shot well here. Regards. Jusni

Nice spotting of a beautiful sunset. Textbook composition, strong saturation. Nice work.

Hello Douglas!

A spectacular shot. One of those you would like to see by yourself and enjoy it , sitting on the beach as colors are changing slowly.

The silhouette of the coastline, the rocks and reddish clouds are blending very well in this neat composition
Well done,
Robert

nice shot
good colorful clouds
good gold color
well done

Aptly titled Douglas. The cloud bank look so solid that you could walk on it - amazing colors and saturation. Even with a 5 second shutter speed the clouds look sharp and clear. Congratulations!

Hi Douglas,
Amazing capture of this low cloudy sky!
I like this monochromic coloured harmony! The colors of this sunset are vibrant and intense, and the dark rocks and mountains enhance the beauty of these gorgeous golden gleams.
Bravo! Annie

Hi Douglas,
That sky looks as if it is on fire. The POV is brilliant time well spent at this location. Well done and TFS.

Well, I really like this shot Douglas, you made perfect choice for the light management. I love the totally black sil. of the stones which create an excellent contrast with the "textured" sky.
In the middle, the horizon is interesting for colours and shape too.

This is another great shot Douglas! Love the RICH colors here, the sky pattern is just amazing! Almost like a quilt! I prefer your other shot, with the swans included, but that's just me, that reflection on the sand is so nice!
