[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sometimes good photographic opportunities don't present themselves until the very last minute. While driving around South Surrey, BC, my plan was to seek out a good location to capture a decent sunset photograph. I started out pretty late and drove south towards White Rock, a nice coastal town bordering the US. I ended up visiting several locations and none of them turned out to be great. Unsuccessful in my hunt, I gave up and decided to pack it in. By this time the sun had already set behind the mountains. As I was driving home something finally presented itself- a small bird reservation providing the fortuitous combination of subject and light at the very last minute.

Slightly cropped, unsharp mask, and curves in Photoshop. The colours were vivid already so little adjustment was done in this department.

Beautiful colours BHo.
Its strange the colours from the sunset in the body of water are more vivid than the sky. It is a nicely presented photo.
regards,
Matt.
