This is under the Barber Bridge in Vero Beach, FL. I tried to time it perfectly when the sail boat passed underneath. The sun was low in the sky, being just before sunset, but it was covered by clouds. Instead of the usual reds there were more yellows.
I did a bit of dodging and burning, and used the saturation tool set at 5 to bring out the golden hues. I am pleased with the way the shaft of light is coming in, beyond the boat, lighting the bush or tree in the back. I'm half expecting negative comments about that.
Using clone tool, I moved the sail a bit to be more centered. I probably should have used burst mode. It would have been a bit easier.

beautifully composed! I hope this isn't too subtle for people to see during voting. The lighting could have a little more contrast for my taste, but a fabulous shot still.
Nice composition and geometrically pleasing to the eye..maybe just tilting a little to the left..then again that could be my eyes :) Good exposure and nice use of perspective.
well done
This composition is absolutely beautiful, the sail provides a perfect balance braker as well as becomes the "center of attention" in a very symetrical composition. The tonal range is also very compelementary for this images, compsoition & exposure wise it is perfect. I get a feeling that it's a bit over sharpenned, but a 10 nevertherless!
