 Late afternoon downpours totaled nearly 8 inches of rain in some areas. Many homes in low lying areas saw water reach their doorsteps. Major intersections flooded causing a few minor accidents. The rainy season thunderstorms ended in time for residents to go to their favorite restaurant for dinner and witness this beautiful sunset.

Nice picture, looks like you could use a tripod.
But, and you heard this over and over, this does not meet the challenge...

Gorgeous shot, wonderful colors, but I believe I would have chosen another title. Some people will say its not a "meet the challenge" title. I personally love it 10

Nice, But if this where mine, I'd clone out the white spot in center of picture. My eye is drawn to it. VERY distracting.

Your title really does not tell me why this photo is in the paper. Sorry but to me it looks like trying to shoehorn in a sunset photo into a challenge where it really does not fit.

A sunset in Ft. Myers is "news" over there? I find that hard to believe :) Nice photo though, I like the color and silhouettes.
