 On Golden Sands
Taken looking along the shoreline toward a point where the land comes down to meet the sea, it was about half tide on the way in, the glare was astounding, decided it would be great to capture it,

Adjustments in Raw, & crop.

Wow, Brian! This is really beautiful, and it is curious why it didn't score higher! Sunsets are red. . .I don't get it!

Great job on the photo -- sorry you got robbed of a better score.

I'm not sure why other commenters think it's too red - I think it looks nice this way. When shooting into the sun like this, it does increase the reds - or at least that's what I've noticed. Well seen, and looks like a wonderful place to be!
