[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my first real attempt at capturing a sunset.
Cabo San Lucas was a great place to start - it is known for it's superb sunsets. Clouds play such an important role during sunsets...I was hoping for interesting cloud formations, and VOILA.
I found that the colours were truer to life by using the flash, suprisingly. In this instance the flash went off, and the colour that I saw with my eye is pretty much what I captured in this image. All I did was sharpen the image, and frame it.
Now I am going to "STALK" the Ontario skies during sunset to see if I can capture some drama in the skies at home :D Ursula

Hi Ursula;

Not a bad first attempt, Ursula. Quite nice, in fact. You certainly picked the right place for it. Great colors, nice shot of the silhouetted hills, fine lighting and composition with the sweep of cloud you show here. A tad soft, but that’s not overly important in this image. Well done.

Hello Ursula,

You have nicely drawn a warm atmosphere in this frame. Orange tone of setting sun reflecting from the clouds are providing a charming attraction. An awesome shot my freind, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Hello Ursula,

I have to agree with you, this is a place for great sunsets!
The composition and colours are superb!

Great first attempt! Excellent composition. I love how the seem to point to and complement the mountain out in the water. I also like how you captured the feel of the beach with the palm trees and sand.

I am a sunset lover :):). Well unfortunately you didnt include the type of the gear you used to capture this one. But I have to say that go for longer expossure. If you have filters, then its not wrong to use them, Grad ND is my fav, for sunset.
