Last light, contemplation

Last light, contemplation · 06:23 PM

Taken in Crystal Cove, California. I enjoyed the leading line between the contemplating beach-goer and a sunset almost like out of a lord of the rings scenery.
This location shows some really nice colors during the sunset, see my album for another example (shot2 - rrstuff's Album: Landscapes - PentaxForums.com).

Ah, there is a silhouette of a person in there! Didn't see from the thumbnail. I nominate this photo, the light and beach are gorgeous. Maybe the photo could be further improved if the silhouette were emphasized, maybe by cropping or by old fashioned photoshop.

I might not have nominated if not for the person. It gives such perpective

It works for me, the figure helps but it is without any reservation a very fine work of art.

Thanks for the comments. The silhouette is my favorite part, it's supposed to only become apparent after a second or two and I like how the shoreline leads from the silhouette to the sunset. I have enjoyed this theme of including a small-size person in the frame quite a bit. I have four 'keepers' with that:
