Wow! You caught this just right. A great Florida sunset, for sure! I love the edge of land showing at the horizon.

Coined--the colors were indeed striking. This shot is essentially unprocessed, so the colors are from Nature itself. Viewfinder--your sunset pics are spectacular--I envy you for being able to enjoy them year round! Thanks for the comments, Paulo; Lorraine, your pic today is a hoot!

I sat in total awe of this photo....

You have caught the true essence and spectacular vision of a beautiful sunset! What gorgeous intense rich colors!!
I love the way that you also captured the gentleness of the clouds washed in the glow of the sun as it sets!

wow!, what a great capture of Shafagh (a Persian word for that redness of sky at the time of sunset). I wish i could sit there and watch it. I had rarely seen the sky this red.

Well captured. The exposure is exemplary with the wide tonal range finely covered and the reflected light on the sea is simply captivating.
