I love the colors in this! Great shot! And the sunrays are beautiful. :) The posturized effect is a little odd close-up, but it makes it look more like a painting. :) (Which isn't a bad thing). Great shot! Thanks for entering it in my challenge! I also love how you have the weeds in the foreground yet don't focus on them. God bless! Have a great day!

Another good shot. Excelent shot. In my opinion the flowers or the things in the foreground should be more prominent, so the depth of field would be extraordinary.

Location
Captiva Island in Florida.Time
At sunset, probably around 7:30 p.m.Lighting
I used natural lighting.Equipment
I hand-held my Nikon I hand-held my Nikon D300S with a Nikkor 18-70mm zoom lens and polarizing filter.Inspiration
The west coast of Florida is famous for its glorious sunsets. We were on vacation at Captiva and went out every evening at sunset and shot scores of pictures. This was the best one of the bunch.Editing
As I recall, I shot RAW format and just did minimal post-processing in Photoshop (cropping and exposure adjustments).In my camera bag
I carry a Nikon D500 camera with the following lenses: Nikkor 70-300mm zoom; Nikkor 18-200mm zoom; a LensBaby kit. Plus a second (charged) EL-EN15 battery for the camera and a second 64mb XQD photo card for back-up.Feedback
Get there early and stay late and follow the two Ps: be Prepared and be Patient. And good luck!
