    Breathtakingly beautiful!

  • emmmee replied

    Thank you Ann. The best part is that the colours are just as they were! It was the best sunset I’ve ever seen and I must say I was in awe of it.

    Absolutely gorgeous!! Even more peaceful with the pelican.

  • emmmee replied

    This was such a wonderful experience – stunning colour and cloud formation and the pelicans on the sandbar were a bonus. I had no idea the bar was there and that they would congregate there at sunset – right place at the right time! em

    Oh, and I agree with tate6. The pelican really adds to the picture. It’s wake is an important element too. Very nicely composed.

  • emmmee replied

    Thanks David. I must say, I did move around on the pier so I could get him in the picture. I love those birds.

    This be me favourite e. Big lines, big colour and the nicely positioned “loner” bottom right.

  • emmmee replied

    Thanks Col. I just waited for him to swim into view and while I did, the colours deepened, so he proved to be a double bonus.

    What is known in the trade as a gobsmacker!! LOL Marvellous colours and classic composition make this a winner in my book. Great work. Peter
