Bonita Beach - Florida
Well it wasn't summertime, but it sure looked and felt like it when I took this sunset shot. 82 degrees and balmy. Winter is a fine time to visit south Florida. I really liked how the water reflected the color in the sky. I originally placed my GND transition along the horizon, but the color reflection in the water was noticeably brighter than the sky so I adjusted it diagonally so that the transition followed the water/beach line as opposed to the horizon. I also cropped out some hotels/condos on the extreme right.

Really nice colors Doug.
I grew up in really, really south Florida (Key West) and am taking my wife there for the first time this year. I'm really looking forward to this trip.

Nice color!
I just got back from the Santa Maria/Lompoc central California coast. The morning and evening fog with the low light was great, wish I'd had my camera. It was nice being near the ocean again. Thanks for the memory!
