Well...I pulled out my portrait of a very beautiful girl at the last minute to give way to this sunset shots...just to make a point that there's more to my photography than portraits.:) I guess nobody would guess this is mine.

You're right - I would have never guessed.
Still managed a people shot though and got into the top twenty!
Congrats once again Manny!
(Great title too by the way.)
Wow, best sunset shot in the challenge by far! the exposure is spot on and the sails and people silouhette really make the shot. top 10 for sure and a 10 from me
I am a sucker for a silhouette. The top of the mast leaving the frame is a little distracting, but it is an overall very nice shot. I wonder what a closer view of the people with the sun and only the two centermost boats in the shot might have looked like.
Coloration glory here! The cutting off sails on both sides of the fram distress my eye a bit. I want to see the whole scene. I love the story told by the figures on the beach and the people out on their boats.
Superb. I thought I had finally grown tired of sunsets, that I'd never score another sunset above four or five. This blows that theory out of the water! I love the colors, the reflections, the silhouettes, the people and actions, and the sails.
Hey librodo :)...ok ok so i was looking through your web site and I saw it...if not i wouldn't have guessed. I still have to say that your portraits are the best and how you make them is you....I hope this does well ;)
Beautiful. I loce the candid nature of the figures and their silhouettes, the reflections and everything. Only criticism is that the reds in the reflection of the sun itself seem oversatured and I would pull those back just a tad either through a color burn, or by not bumping up the saturation in that particular area.
