Sunset off the Deck

Wasn't able to replicate the brilliant orange of the original but close enough.
That's Protection island the sun it disappearing behind. Only one person is allowed there.

Excelent framing and composition!

Gorgeous image, JP. I love the color of the sun both in the sky and the reflection. The purple mountains in the background are wonderful. The natural frame adds much to the image.

A perfectly calm and lovely moment captured - beautiful sunset - the cooler colors are interesting here - I almost prefer you didn't capture more of the warm oranges as cooler tones are not as common for sunsets. I like the trees framing the shot too.

Nice composition jp, I love those silhouetted trees!

Beautiful composition! Looks like you have moved to Paradise. My husband is from Washington state; maybe we should consider retiring there some day with views like this!

I can see that I need to return to my home state and explore. Thanks for the image and the links. Dale

Thanks for those links, Vincent. One of these days I'll have to sail over & capture an Auklet or 2.

inframan:

A great capture - a fire ball that is ironically not fierce but gentle.

Btw, I was curious about what Protection Island is so I looked it up. Here's the information for those who are also curious due to the beauty and description/notation of inframan:

Thanks for showing us a beautiful, calm and little-known part of our country!
