Description

Coming home from a festive weekend spent with good friends, as I often do, I drove by the beach and was reminded again of why I love the beauty of Santa Cruz. This is a completely un-altered sunset photo, taken earlier today.

(Well I may have straightened the horizon as I seem to hold the camera crooked sometimes...)

Other shots of this area:


 :bulletblue:[ Santa Cruz LightHouses] - similar perspective, taken during the day.

 :bulletblue:[Moving through Time]

 :bulletblue:[Sunset at Twin Lakes Beach] - Taken in 2002 with my Sony Cybershot

"..great potential. if you utilize the already existant layering effect that created by the perspective i think you can make an extrodinary picture. dodge the forground in PS until it is completely black then isolate the sunset and water and increase the contrast along with the saturation just a hair and see where that get you. it should creat a very discernable diference between the forground silouette the middle sillouette and the background silouette. culminating in a brilliant and well emphasised sunset"

Interesting composition, I reckon this is a great balance of land, water and sky in this image. The silhouettes look interesting, and especially those of the people in the foreground. The soft, relaxing colours of the sky are pretty cool too, good work!
