I shot this tonight RIGHT AFTER SUNSET. The sun was behind me, which aided in such a soft colored sky and Ocean, and the slow shutter speed didn't hurt either.

I hope you like it...

Stunning! Perfect colors, perfect lighting, perfect composition. Powerful image Ahmed. Did you use auto white balance, or did you manually set to tungsten or fluorescent? Exceptional!!

I really like how the subtle color transition in the sunset very nicely mirrors itself on the water.

Ahmed Roberson said (6 May 2009):
I kinda wanted to crop it that way, but couldn't resist showing the matching sky color to the water.
Good suggestion though ;-)
