Man, I'm having a lucky week! Thanks for all the comments again. This was taken in Huntington Beach. These two boys were having so much fun body boarding. The title says first Saturday Sunset of Summer but it is actually the second Saturday of this summer. I realized it only after the submission ended a few days later. Oh well, I thought it was the first when I took it so I guess that's what matters. It's my obligatory sunset shot for DPC and I'm so glad I made that decision.
For those who asked what's on the horizon, those are actually giant cranes from the port of Los Angeles in Long Beach. The sun sets behind them, thus the unusual robot like silhouettes.
Thanks again for the votes and all the comments! :) :) :)

Wow what a great way to ruin a sunset. Take the color out of it. But fear not, thanks to all the pretentious knuckleheads that would rate a picture of dung with high marks if it were B&W, you've scored a ribbon. WTG! Congrats on figuring out how to win the popularity contest among these wacky voters. Now if only you'd run for president to give the economy a boost by giving the comedians some more material for the next 4-8 years we'd be set.
Oh I'm kidding! Seriously nice work. I would never have thought to desat a sunset but it works.
I guess,
To each his own.
Sincerely,

That should have been my username. HeadKnucklehead. It's like H2O, only it'd be H2K. Unlike Y2K, actually a real disaster waiting to happen.
Congrats!! Your blue ribbon is SO well deserved, this was a 10 for me :-)
I used to go sailing in those waters but didn't recognize Long Beach port (tsk tsk tsk). Quite the perfect image!
Ok, somebodies turned pro here. Wow - ribbon contender written all over it: absolutely nothing lower then 10. Too bad there's not an 11, 12 or for that matter, a 100 button!
