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.

Thank you again Prasad. No enhancement on this shot. The sunset was stunning.
David Friederich, about 1 month ago
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 in reply to Tate6’s comment, about 1 month ago
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

Thank you l. I’m so thrilled with the clarity and the true colours with my new camera. Idyllic spot and time of day.
emmmee in reply to Col Finnie’s comment, about 1 month ago
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.
emmmee in reply to georgieboy98’s comment, about 1 month ago
WOW Peter! Thank you! I must say I’m thrilled with this one. Everything worked once this little fellow swam into view.
