Beautiful. Unfortunately it has only 62=peer awards. So it doesn't fit the challenge requirements. You can replace it.

I took this photo in Miyajima back in 2015. I'm a self-taught photographer and this special evening I was lucky enough to capture the essence of beauty in the shape of an everlasting moment.Time
This is one of my all time favorite images. I made all the way to this magical island called Miyajima where I spent the time walking and craving to enjoy the sunset. But I never imagined I'd have been able to witness preciousness the way i did! The pinky skies embraced my soul and from that moment onwards my camera, which couldn't capture the true vivid colors, gave up and only my eyes were the ones that took the lead...Unforgettable!Lighting
I truly needed no lighting at all as the beautiful sky was the one that spoke to me and my camera.Equipment
. This was shot on a Nikon 5300 and any equipment was used.Inspiration
. I was visiting Japan with my partner in 2015 when we decided to go and enjoy Miyajima for a day. We spent the whole day walking and admiring the adorable deers and eating the deliciously famous oyster burger and a melon ice-cream for dessert while waiting for the sun to go to sleep as we had read it was a unique moment and so we had our cameras ready. Suddenly, the sunny and bright sky slowly started turning into soft pink and then the gods took the lead...What happened next was so extraordinary that cannot be expressed using words: the pinkish of the tones embraced what it seemed like the whole planet and time stopped...I couldn't help it but admire the pinkish fire wrapping the sky, or should I say heaven? Our cameras couldn't capture the true bright pink, believe me...We just stared at the sky, hypnotized for as long as the sun or the Gods allowed us to be. What a sacred moment: our Sanctuary for eternity! My camera and I did what we could to engrave these colors in a photograph. Japan will always be in our hearts!Editing
