Tropical Reflections -(best viewed large)

Taken at Anaeho'omalu Bay, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Only as the last rays of light were

fading away, did the wind decide to leave with it. I was finally able to get just a few clean

reflections like this. Used a tripod and cable release for this ten second or so exposure. I

realize there is room to crop, though at this time I still prefer the expanded beachline

darkness. I think it adds to the atmosphere. Though am open to all opinions, either positive

or critical, they are all appreciated. Thanks.

Stunning shot, the colors are amazing, and though the reflection could be a little better, have to make do with what nature gives us :) Well done!

very nice, I think you have just the right amount of dark and light here.

The unwritten rule of the universe: trust your plam trees to always give you a great shot! I like it how the trees come towards you in the left corner of the frame. Well done.

No, I would say don't crop. I like the negative space created by the emptiness at the bottom ... a good balance. One of your nicest sunsets, Vincent! I LOVE the colors!!

Agh!!! this is so great! I love the colours-they are amazing and the reflections are perfect. I think i might crop a little off the bottom...only a little tho! Wonderful!

Beautiful. I love your eye for color. Regards!

Vincent, amazing. Got to be one of your most unique shots.

Magica luz, color y belleza, rodeado de un bellisimo encuadre, saludos cordiales Viceent.

Excellent image,Vincent. Composition,colors,light,DOF and reflection- everything points to excellence.Do you think the dark foreground could be cropped a bit?

You have caught the moment of evening beauty. The colours are indeed gorgeous. Wish I were there to see the actual scene.

Vincent, like all your work, this is absolutely stunning. Takes my breath away...

Best regards from Kenya,

Beautiful..this could be a postcard from Hawaii.

Very beautiful. An amazing image.

Something I really love and feel makes a great sunrise/sunset is when you get true stratification of colors. You have accomplished that here--it looks as though an artist painted the sky in stripes with different colors. A great image! Super job with the reflections as well!

Fantastic! Great work! Light and composition are very amazing.
