Well... it's really a lovely sunset! I love those red stripes in the sky, delcate and intense at the same time. A sunset by the sea is the most enchanting experience...
Well done,
Donato

Hi, Tony -

Lovely! I think the far shoreline is a bit slanted, no? Great positioning of the sun and its reflection captured in the foreground.

Here on the American west coast we get lovely sunsets too, but you can sunrise and sunset in the ocean the same day. Hummpph!

Best,
Dan

Hello Tony:

You know that I live in love with the sunrises and sunsets in your country. Observe a landscape like this is magic, paralyzes the senses of a wonderful way.

Great colors, in an atmosphere of darkness and light. Spectacular, no doubt, my friend.

A good capture of this beautiful sunset with its lovely golden tones. I like that we are able to see the detail in the sea with its slightly rippling waves. Very good colours and clarity.

Hi Tony,
A very successful sunset photo with really nice, soft colours in the sky. And also the clouds work very well here. The inclusion of the rocks, partly in front of the sun, was a great idea as well. Good photo work!

Very good image
well done TOBA

Royaldevon (64286) 2008-07-08 12:57

Many thanks, Tony,

I, for one, love sunsets! They have such romantic conatations!
This one is particularly beautiful as it paints the fading sky with warm streaks of colour but also leaves enough light to distinguish the ripples on the sea, and a glow on the sand.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Tony
Looking forward to seeing all these beaches around the West coast when the weather gets better. You hit the sun just right, which is giving off subtle reds and oranges. The wispy clouds compliment the scene well. Overall colours and composition is well captured.
Regards
Jim

jhm (191315) 2008-07-09 3:46

Hello Tony,

When you this image see that must your immediate take this image, this moment is always very short.
In middle the dark mountain zone, gives a nice contrast against the pink sky and the sea with reflections in foreground.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

MarianneS (15338) 2008-07-09 8:48

Hi Tony Very great sunset! The colours impress, the clean atmosphere in the depth and the important colours of reflection have a disposal in the spectator very romantic, my Thanks greet you.
Bravo

batalay (41261) 2008-07-09 16:37

Hello Tony,

A fabulous sunset, captured with high resolution. One scene you might consider is the sky on the other side from a sunset, something that old artists frequently took advantage of. Take a look at Learning from the Painter, as an alternative choice when viewing beautiful rising and setting suns. In any event it is a great shot,

Take care

jemaflor (125691) 2008-07-10 10:57

Hi Tony,
Nice sunset with reflections on sea, lovely wet sand in the foreground.

josepmarin (59383) 2008-07-11 9:00

Hi Tony,
Your photo catches perfectly in an image what we can feel on having enjoyed a sight as this one, with the light and the colors of the sunset.
Very beautiful composition, I like the texture and the silver sheens in the sea, the black silhouette of the coastline, and the Sun that hides itself behind it.
The sky with the brushstrokes of clouds they complete an excellent image.
Great shot, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

pablominto (53746) 2008-07-12 8:55

Hello Tony,

This is a lovely sunset, from late winter last year!
The light reflects so nicely off the silky-crisp water, and the silhouetted land adds fine contrast to the composition...
A great atmosphere!

Greetings,

gunbud (34066) 2008-07-15 19:30

Hi Tony,

Very peaceful view of the end to this beautiful day.

Hello my dear friend Tony,

I recognized that you are not posting any new photos since two weeks. Hope you are doing well and everything is O.K. for you and your family.

Your skillful experience captured a fantastic scene here. I liked your perfect capture timing for adding the golden ball just top of ridges and powerful waves on ocean together. Shallow shore and wide waves are really wonderful there. Congratulations and take care.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul
