 convert from RAW, adjust blues just a touch, tiny crop. Sharpen, just because.

It was a tad chilly out there tonight, but I probably don't need to add - the California coast is beautiful. It wasn't a hardship to stand out there are enjoy the sunset and afterglow. I 'd have settled for the sunset, except this guy was out there with his friend enjoying what was available in his surfing world.

I probably shouldn't add that i just acquired a new Canon lens that I tried out for the first time tonight.

Yeah! WOW! Nice! (returning to sedate now)

It seems like it has to do more with the landscape then the sunset, to me. An excellent photo though...I'm sure it will smoke my entry.

Including the surfer to show scale really makes this image. Nice job.

colors are good, focus good and you have a good balance in water, land, sky and people...nothing looks out of balance

I love the near solid color of the sky as a backdrop for this shot, makes it feel very powerful.
