    the first chance i got to get take pictures of a sunset on my holiday when i got home just about all the pictures were grainy :o( i was very disapointed as i can not get out in evenings to watch them so this was my only chance fi long time. I dont no why they turned out grainy any idea? This picture you have is just wonderful, i love the striking sands with the beautiful sunset. All your pics are just brilliant :o)
