very very nice!
Great to see a local!
:D made my day
So simple, and very cool.
I agree, brilliant in its simplicity and great colour offsets.
Well spotted and great use of the colour contrasts. Simple yet speaks volumes.
love that.. ; D
You’ve got a great eye for very pleasing simple compositions. The high saturisation of the colours really is the perfect finishing touch.
Thank you, Peter! This is one of my all-time favorites-thank YOU for favoriting it. This actually has no editing-it came out of the camera just this way (no saturating). I shot it about 15 mins before sunrise, and the light is all from the streetlight overhead casting its orange glow. The ocean and sky beyond just looked like that. :)

No post process saturating? Wow, makes it even better! Well, maybe not exactly better, because I don’t really care about how you create the image, only about the image itself. But the fact that it’s straight out of the camera does make it more special. :)
This is very special indeed… love the framing and the colours are just to die for.. exceptional capture.
love the saturated colour and exposure time here kevin – so well shot.. and adore perfect verticals and horizontals… great work!
Most people assume I worked this in PS—it’s actually just as it came out of the camera (no saturation at all). Thank you!

I know, I can tell.. long exposures only give this kinda light…
