[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken at sunset on Gardner Bay, west side of Espanola Island of the Galapagos Island Group in Ecuador. Gardner Bay is a favorite destination for swimming and snorkeling as well as offering a great beach. Shown beyond is our small cruise ship that goes only through the Galapagos Islands. Gardner Bay offers a magnificent long, white sandy beach, where colonies of sea lions laze in the sun, sea turtles swim offshore, and inquisitive mocking birds boldly investigate. The beach is considered an open area where you are free to explore and view land iguanas up to the trail paths on it's island plateau.

I tweaked the colors of this photo in Photoshop to make it more vibrant.

Hello Andre, I like the colours here in your photo, makes for a strong photo, which caught my eye. Great composition. Well done.

hello Andre

I cannot remember where I have seen something similar but this is a great sunset capture of the color tone.

Well composed to have the boat at a good placement position while framing a good part of the rocks. Good pp work for such effect of glowing sky and the reflective water.

I like the presentation. tfs
