Sunset Selfie

A little departure from my normal posts, but I saw this couple enjoying the sunset.  As the sun went down they did what a lot of people do to document their vacation.

Very interested in how others would have managed this situation.
All comments and critiques are appreciated

Jerry, I like your capture of the human experience.  Not sure would have guessed they were taking a selfie but that she was looking through binoculars but your point of the human experience is captured here.  I think that may be a buoy of some sort on the horizon and is a bit distracting. I would clone it out alone with the speck in the sky that may be a bird?  Thanks for posting and the memory.

I agree with Sandra's comments, Jerry. The color here is quite interesting, especially that of the water. As far as the situation goes, I would have waited until the person dropped their arm, but before they moved apart. In any event, you did a nice job!
