    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.

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

    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

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

    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.

    Thank YOU! I feel very honoured! I treasure the recognition. It was a glorious sunset, from start to finish, through all its shades and cloud formations, but this topped the lot, I thought. Thanks again, em

    the colors, again are so beautifully intense … and I find this one more calming. I like the more minimalist composition… both are great captures I’m happy I’ve seen tonight
