    Thanks for the comment. I agree that the web is not the best medium for pictures. Though the picture in Lenswork was an improved version of this one.

    I am very tired of sunsets too, but due to the fact that most of them are mediocre both in terms of originality and the technical aspect of it. This however, is a very good picture, regardless of its subject. From the technical point of view, the colours are sober and elegant. Most pictures of sunsets are so vulgar, shot with an extreme wide angle lens and saturation on maximum of what the film/sensor is capable of. These pictures are like girls with way too much make-up, walking around in sports suits with strong colours. Vulgar. This picture however, is just right. The faint clouds, the soft sand, and the beautiful golden light. The composition is also very elegant, mostly due to the fact that the sun is not included in the frame. We see the reflections in the water, so we know the sun is there, but since it is not in the frame, there is one less element to compete for the viewer's attention. Why do photographer's tend to include everything in the frame? We should all learn from painters the art of subtlety. Well done Jeff!
