I was at the pool at my Disney hotel yesterday when I noticed a beautiful sunset developing. I only had my Oly P&S which I use for underwater/pool shots. So I grabbed it, put it on sunset setting, and shot away.

I opted for this scene so as to remove human elements and simply feature the palms and the sky.

Cleaned it up a tad with noise ninja and added some brilliance/warmth in Nik Color Effects Pro.

Camera: Olympus S1030SW

Hey Michael,
You know how many times I've seen sunrises/sunsets like this but in locations that don't have a great FG. I'd pay for that in Arches!!! It has an ok flow to it though but you may want to add blacks to the area to make the silhouettes darker.....no real need to have detail there as the sky is the star.
