Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Gorgeous, gorgeous sunset Judy. I love how the sunset turns the water into satin lava. Wonderful composition.

@Marion: "Satin lava..." I like that. Thank you, Marion.

Yoshiyuki envies you this shot...he is the one with the sunsets! It makes me sigh!

@Japanalia: Awww, he would love it when we have gorgeous sunsets, however we've had fewer of them over the past several years. ;(
@Peter Miller: Thanks, Peter!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Aminus3 doesn't have 55,000 stars...how can I grade this photo that almost brought tears to my eyes. I'm going to shed tears very soon though 'cause right now I'm viewing this on big distorting and unclear computer screen. Soon, I'll be on my top of the line vision laptop and I'll look at it again...

@Lorraine: Well, thank you; I'm blushing. It was a magical evening on our one overnight away and we were blessed.
Thank you for your kind words and I hope you enjoy your new 'toy'. ;D
Betty from New Jersey, United States
This looks like the perfect ending to the perfect day! I have no words, just beautiful...

@Betty: As I wrote to Lorraine, we were blessed on our overnight away to have such a beautiful ending!
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Very nice sunset - we had a few nice ones on vacation that looked like this, you have captured this wonderfully. Really great composition (with the diagonal line of the beach) and lighting is wonderful as well...beautiful....

@Chris: Thank you so much, Chris ... your words are most complimentary.
Rui Silva from Leiria, Portugal

Tracey from New Port Richey Florida, United States
i love this area. great sunset it is just beautiful. most people dont know what they are missing. we get to see this every night. we are so lucky ; )

@Tracey: I wish I lived closer to the water to BE there every night but with the cost of gas, we're not driving the 30 mile round trip every day. We were blessed to have such a beautiful evening for our overnight away.
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
An outstanding sunset Judy, it warms the heart and the soul.

@MaryB: Thank you very much, Mary; it certainly warmed our hearts and souls! ;D
Tracey from White Hall, United States
Very pretty sunset with the great texture of the ocean. It seems a bit over sharpened to me, but that is just my taste. The soothing yellows and oranges are wonderful and I love the sun playing peek-a-boo from behind the cloud!
16 Jul 2008 12:23pm
@Tracey: Thank you, Tracey. You may be right on the sharpening - it looked blurry, but I think maybe it was the ripple action that just wasn't as sharp because it was moving. Checking this against the original, I used the unsharp mask at a radius of 1. Thanks for your observations!
@Eleftheria!: Thank you, Sweetie!
@Ina: Thank you, Ina ... very much!
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Spectacular, it's a beautiful image.

@Observing: Thanks a lot!
Barbara from Florida, United States
Magnificent indeed. It is the way you framed the shot and angle of the waves with the beach that makes this even more spectacular. Nice one Judy!

@Barbara: Thanks, Barb ... the photo was there for the taking! ;D

17 Jul 2008 3:25am
@DarkElf: Thank you. This orientation allowed more of the scene to unfold.
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Absolutely wonderful sunset, and well-composed for max impact.
17 Jul 2008 2:13pm
@Viewfinder: As I wrote elsewhere, God supplied the scene, I simply captured it. ;)
@Anita: Thanks a lot!
Lorraine from Canada
Oh Lord, thank You for Judy's talent :) had to look at it again on my laptop, it's so precious, the Light Divine
18 Jul 2008 2:48pm
