Location
I took a boat ride from the dock at Key West, Florida. I saw wonderful transitions from blue skies, to red. I was actually shooting the Sunset, when we passed this boat and I thought it would make a lovely composition to have the boat in the shot. I got another amazing shot of the Sunset... Imagine a ZOOMED in version of the Sunset in the background....Time

I usually angle the camera UP a few degrees to get more drama from the sky. However, in this shot it was straight on, since I was focusing on the Sunset. Use camera leveling lines to keep camera level to the horizon.
