    This looks like a real early one. Somewhere between an hour and 30 minutes before sunup (and then I read the title – not a sunset surely? Maybe 30 mins to an hour after sun down then!). The glow around the tree works well with the colours with the absence of clouds and the light kissed and texture drenched sand pulls your eyes straight through the still water to the back and beyond.

  • Mel Brackstone replied

    Sunset, go figure! T’was around 15mins after sundown, the glow doesn’t last long here…stars were out and glow was gone within 45mins of this shot…

    Fabulous! I love the ripples in the sand, and what a great sky glow! Hope your feet were warmer for this one….

  • Mel Brackstone replied

    Boots were still dry for this one :) Just as well, we stayed out for hours after sundown, looking for star trails etc….

    Nicely processed Mel, love the retention of light on the ripples in the sand, forcing you to look at the distance beyond to the sunset / sundown …........
