Challenge: Good (Basic Editing*)
Collection: Challenges 2007
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Livorno, Italy

 I saw this group of photographers several times on Sunday. The first time they were down on a little patio behind the hotel. They had a few tripods set up but no cameras on them and spent the time I saw them there just talking. Later in the day while I was out looking for food, I saw them wandering around the streets near the hotel. Then late in the afternoon I spotted them down near the water. Again you'll notice a couple of tripods set up with no cameras on 'em, but at least a couple of them were shooting pictures.

I swore I'd never enter a sunset in a challenge, but I kinda thought this was appropriate for DPC. And it was indeed a good day to shoot here in this part of Italy!

Wonderful fun shot. Good colors and nice silhouettes. Great composition. I don't think there is anything I would really change. Congrats on the wonderful score.

I think this is quite amusing. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time for the Good challenge, so I thumbnail-voted and this one just looks like a sunset in thumbnail. Good job. We needed more funny shots in both challenges.

This was yours???? You are so right! I DO love this one! I thought it was one of those California guys showing off another one of their spectacular sunsets. This is really awesome! Since I gave it a 9, I think it is sadly underrated :( But still a nice strong finish.

Great silhouette and I like the layered "Rule of Thirds". Was this the Italy GTG? Did you explain the concept of "Team Suck" to them?

The angle at which this was shot really captures the blueness of the ocean and the oranges in the sky!

Hah! Very nice colors. Looks like a fun day! Then again I'm glad I don't have that many other photographers trying to get the same shot as me!

I find the closest tripod a bit distracting.
