    Default January Florida Beach Sunset

    Only Florida can give sunsets like this in January, I think. Most contrast done in camera as I waited for the right sun angle. Some color adjustments in PS and cropped to more of a pano. Cloned a couple of little things out.

    Hi Hazel, I liked the lighting and silhouettes. Thought I would change things around a bit which I felt gave a better balanced and less busy comp.
    I cropped from the top,bottom and left and added a bit to the rt. I also took out some merges. I did this quickly so it's not 100%...

    Hazel, As presented I would crop a little off the left and add some to the right. I wouldn't crop from the top and bottom as it seems a bit tight in the frame. Gorgeous colors and nicely seen silhouette!

    I love the orange-yellow of the sky and the silhouetted foreground. I second cropping some from the left and maybe a slice from the bottom but leave the sky alone!

    Thanks for the comments. I see the point about the left crop. Thought I'd post the actual original so you'd see what I was working with. I think I like the coloring of the first post vs the very yellow.

    Hazel, the silhouette is so nice. I'd just crop from the left

    A beautiful glowing sunset! Great color. Nicely done. I like Dave's crop.
