 Visited one of my favorite beaches on the Big Island of Hawaii. The sunset was gorgeous and the waters were clear. By setting up close to the water, I captured its movement while still capturing the sillohuete of the palms. I've always thought that
Backlighting + Palm Trees + Sunset = A good representation of Paradise. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Yes, I'll take one of those fancy pineapple drinks please. Oh, don't forget the little umbrella. Nice shot. I always like a good beach landscape.

Nice composition but I think this picture would look a lot better if the colors were more saturated.
