I love the sunsets at my wife's aunt's cottage. They are almost always spectacular, even when the rest of the day wasn't. In this particular case the clouds were rolling in at night, threatening to block the sun. But we got lucky with a time full break in the clouds which showed us a grand display. I grabbed my camera and got shooting. Dozens of angles later I knew I had something nice. Upon brining it through the editing process, the end result was just as breathtaking as the real thing.
