Challenge: Best of 2005 (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 5700
Location: JB's Fish Camp; south of New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Date: May 12, 2005
Galleries: Animals, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Jan 6, 2006

 A simple sunset from JB's Fish Camp, just south of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Looking west, we often watch the sun set over the Intracoastal Waterway. On this day, the water was remarkably calm. The glassy surface was only broken by the soft, emergent glides of a handful of dolphins and one, lone manatee. It was truly a beautiful end to a brilliant day.

Thanks for your time and consideration!

beautiful shot

Nice colors. I think the composition might be better if you cropped it vertically to emphasize the relationship between the sun, the dock, and the object in the water (is that a dolphin?) As a landscape, the focal points are a little too centralized and leave the edges of the image a little empty.

the over exposure on the water is very blown out. but aside from that great shot, u even got a dolphin to surface, its like way to perfect lol. GL

I think this would look a lot better if the horizon was level. You did a good job of a tricky exposure tho.

Nice composition. I like the detail on the right corner, the figure in the middle and, definetely, the sun an its reflection. Well done

Is that a dolphin I see in the water... This image is so calming...

dont know if its the land that does this but I feel like the crop isn't very straight. Could also use some more light on the front area which is a great lead in line and maybe bump up the saturation... Good image none the less.

Nice sunbridge. What is coming out of the water? Looks like the fin of some creature.

Lovely. Got lots of nice touches, horizon is slightly off-putting. The pier and the dolphin are really good touches. 7/10

Wow, a dolphin? Great catch. The exposure is very tough with the sun right there, for sure. I might have altered the crop to place dolphin at a more focal point.
