Secret Bay Sunset

This is another photograph from Dominica - taken from the resort I was at. This viewpoint overlooks a "secret bay" - a small cove tucked into the shoreline on the south side of Prince Rupert Bay. The view is over the Caribbean Sea. I love the tree on the left hand side - not so crazy about the messy vegetation to the right.

The vegetation on the right is a little distracting, yet it does add to that "secret" feel, that you have to peer around it to see what's behind, so I don't know that it bothers me that much. I do have a crop suggestion: crop the left side up to the edge of the tree trunk to eliminate that little chunk of sky. That makes the "frame" created by the tree and vegetation a little stronger.

Beautiful sky color and nice p lacement of the tree, but the vegetation is distracting.
