[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Minimal sunset capture from Natural Bridges State Beach in Santa Cruz, California. Shot in RAW, Levels adjustment in CS4.

I enjoyed the coloring of the sky and shoreline here from the original shot, however I enhanced it slightly using Nik's Color FX Pro.

Nice long exposure shot Vincent, I like the smooth and silky effects in water, nice placement of horizon too. well captured sunset.

Hello Vincent,

A beautiful sunset which delights in the blending of the soft, amber tones, and contrasts them well with the stark blackness of the silhouettes.
Good composition, following the rule of thirds.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Vincent

What a great composition. A real feast for the eyes with those magnificent colors you have given. As if it was done with a gradient too. That RAW has done a great job.

My compliments and TFS
