Just after the sun dipped below the horizon, Inverness Beach lit up with an eerie glow. Nova Scotia October 2010. A typical autumn evening with gale force winds on this beach and some beautiful light and color piercing through the stormy skies.

Thanks for looking. As always, your comments and critiques are welcome and apprciated.

That's quite a sky Eva. Foreground is fairly typical for this type of setting,....but that sunset is wicked.

Wow - that's a killer sky and you added the rest of the scene very skillfully to the composition. Great shot, Eva.

Spectacular light show, Eva. My thought might be to darken the lower edge a bit to add a sense of a frame around the warm glowing areas in the image.

A lovely seascape Eva. There is so much fine detail to enjoy in the beach, water and sky that I'm kind of ambivalent about the landmass at left. I think this beauty could stand on its own without it. Wonderful capture.

An awesome sky mirrored in the sheen on the beach sets this one apart.

This is lovely, Eva. The reverse grad did a nice job taming the horizon. You might try pulling a bit more detail in the dark clouds at the top. The composition works very well.

I love that sky but find the foreground a bit distracting from it. I think Tony's idea of darkening it a little would make this stronger.

The brooding clouds are fantastic Eva.

I'm going to have to explore NS a little next time I am there. I flew out that way twice this year but didn't have any time to explore, all work.

Wow! I think every one has covered every thing about this image. Just one thing left, pull up a chair set back and enjoy the scene. This is a beautiful shoot Eva!

Simply beautiful.
I agree with the burning down of the sand in the lower left quarter only to give the image a bit more drama.

Amazing color Eva. I love the composition too. If it were mine I'd darken up the fg a bit and do some edge burning to lead the viewer's into the scene. Spectacular work!
