Newport Back Bay

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted July 1, 2015998 views2 comments

June 30, 2015 presented us with a spectacular sunset on the Newport Beach, California Back Bay.  This shot was taken just off my patio.  Because of the homes across the bay, I usually don't take photos from my yard, tending to go instead to the beach and one of the piers, but the last few nights the sky has compelled me to go out when I was not prepared for the beach.

Nikon D800  Nikkor 24-120  62mm  ISO100  f/14  1/4  White Balance Auto  RAW  Processed in LightroomCC2015, PhotoshopCC2015, and NIK.  The photo is uncropped and very minimally processed.  

Thank you for your feedback.  devil

Wonderful color and silhouettes Patrick.  Not sure, but the image may need a slight CCW rotation.

I like the way the silhouetting allows the viewer's attention to be focused on the colors in the sky and the water. It seems that the horizon may need straightening, but that's the only criticism I have.
