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.

Stunning work!!!
emmmee replied
Thank you again Prasad. No enhancement on this shot. The sunset was stunning.
Tate6
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

David Friederich
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.

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.
