    Default Apocalypse Now.

    Pacific Ocean sunset with 300mm lens.
    I exposed for the sun, otherwise cropped with nothing else done.
    The colors are natural.

    Hey Dan,
    Debating the upper part/clouds......yes natural but seem a bit out of place. Love the mody ones around the sun and the base. Simple yet very effective!

    Hi Dan - great colors and I like the central placement of the sun. Like Roman, I wonder if a crop to below the first yellow band of clouds would enhance the image. Also it seems to need the slightest bit of CCW rotation.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Dan, a great sunset over the ocean for sure. I think I might be tempted to crop the top portion that Roman mentions out.

    Good job with exposure and the colors. I'd have gone for the sun on one side or the other :)

    I like the clouds at the top but would have placed the sun on either a left or right ROT vertical line.
