I finally got a chance to shoot this beach and historic rail bridge at Sunset after nearly 10 years since I first saw it. Never been able to be there at the right time. The 3 hour drive each way for 45 minutes of light was well worth it.

Michael, the sun at the end of the bridge is sweet. Thankfully you didn't get the cloud cover! Although I really like the inclusion of the beach in the fg and it leads the eyes to the trees and bridge, I keep wanting this to be a pano shot. Maybe you got some during your 45 minute visit to the keys!

Nice use of a leading line - shoreline and bridge - to guide the viewer into the image and to the sunset.

Diagonals in the clouds continue to add visual interest to the sky.

love the leading lines and the colors are nicer than i have seen around lately! were you able to get more compositions?

Nice capture, like the shoreline and bridge leading to the sun. Clouds add to the photo well worth the trip Michael.

I got plenty of comps. took advantage of the opportunity. Need to process them still.

this is sweet Michael! love how the shoreline leads you to the bridge which leads you to the sunset. the trees and lovely clouds keep the interest. can't wait to see the rest.

Agree with all of the above. Beautiful composition! Love the curve and the line all the way to the setting sun.

Hey Michael,
The HDR looks very nice and as mentioned above......I also like the flow leading you to the sun. You may want to consider darkening the cloud just a touch in the missing chunk but other than that, nicely done!
