[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My last full night on Grand Bahama Island, we went on a sunset dinner cruise. Sat on the top deck of a large cataraman and had steak, lobster, and all the rum runners you could drink. The most amazing part was being able to get this beautiful sunset shot from a moving boat after countless drinks.

For all you Canon shooters who want a wide angle zoom, this one is worth every penny. It is very sharp from wide open to all the way stopped down. It has a short zoom range, but the trade off is super high quality and very fast in low light.

This is the most amazing and brilliant sunset, Scott.

Come to think of it the dinner sounds pretty great too.

Excellent composition, great colors, wonderful POV.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

These are the sunsets that you remember. There don't seem to be that many spectacular light shows in recent years.

Hi Scott, I'm pleased your holiday went well. I'm off to Fiji for a week now. So looking at Howard's note, I must take my Kit lens with me.
Beautiful sunset, I love the streaks in the sky and the deep reflection in the water. Just stunning.

Scott this is fantastic, looks like the Northern Lights (which I've been lucky enough to see in Finland). The cloud dispersion looks amazing.
Stunning, thanks for posting.

Hello Scott,
Very nice sunset i like the warm colours & light, composition is great.

Very well done,
Christian

Lovely image Scott,
Nicely composed. Great POV and great warm colours.
Well captured, thanks for posting

Scott,
Absolutley Amazing. Water reflections, Rays of light, 100 different shades in the clouds, distant lights, LOTS of blue sky shades, tree sillouettes, great depth. it would be easier to list what's NOT in this photo than what's in it. This photo's top notch. I envy someone who gets to see this in person not to mention capture it with a camera!
It's a joy to look at your pics!
I am afraid it might drive me to drinkin'! :)

Sorry Scott, I have no time to write a proper comment. I give to you the well deserved smily.

Hello Scott

Amazing colours in this shot. They are extremely vibrant. The glow on the water looks like it is from a fire it is so red. Nice work. Thanks.

This is a stunning shot and I love the colors, but it is messing with my eyes! This is not a nit and not a critique. I have measured the waterline and it is perfectly level, yet my eyes sees it as tilted. Time for new glasses - for me! :-)

The image has good depth, with very good composition as well.

Regards

Japie

That is a beautiful sky Scott, the cloud formation and fiery colours are amazing. I would have capture just "a little" more sea to balance composition. If you had of posted this in Panoramic form (see my Workshop)I would have give this 8/10 as it is 6/10 due to lack of foreground details. Very nice capture, well done.

Wow! What colours! This is beautiful Scott. Very nice composition and an extraordinary sunset. Very well done.

Hi Scott,
Beautiful composition and colour.
Brilliant sunset, as always.
TFS!

Beautiful sunset, Scott.
The colours is amazing.
Well composed and good POV.
Great work.

This is very beautiful Scott, almost like someone took a paintbrush to the sky. The pink streaks leading up into the dark blue are very nice. I like the dark water in the foreground too. You must have had a good time! Well done, TFS.

HI Scott.. this is an amazing sunset. The colors are stunning and the pattern of movement in the clouds is spectacular. The conditions make it even more impressive :-) Exceptionally done! Makes me want to visit the Bahamas.

Scott, which tool did you use on Photoshop to produce such colors? :)

Great picture. I do enjoy colors, lighting and the mixture between light and dark shades.

Simply superb, Scott... am totally swept off my feet, even without one single drink :-), imagine, what it would have been, had I had a few on the pleasure boat!
Exquisite colours, pov, and indeed wide angle. Wagner would say, "Gesamtkunstwerk" haha! As it is so full!
