    Really nice shot. The only thing I might do is boost a little the mid-tone contrast to enhance that nice sky. :thumbsup:

    Very nice, I only wish the boat were heading into the frame and not out.
    Beautiful scene.

    Beautiful scene, and captured well. First thing i thought though was, a tad too sharp, but this is only a problem when sharpening at this size. I also agree with Gary about the boat heading in the opposite direction.

    Re: Barrier Reef Sunset

    Thanks. Yeah. I agree. Boat into the picture would be better. I am hoping that as I get more experience and comfort shooting in the field I will start thinking more about shots before I take them. Even now after shooting probably a thousand shots in the field or more, I am usually just trying to get SOMETHING rather than really engineering the final result.

    Here is a version in srgb. I am hoping it is closer to how it looks on my monitor

    Closer but still washed out a bit compared to what I want, at least on my laptop monitor. I'm not going to obsess about it right now. It is closer.
