    Beach Sunset 1

    As you might deduce from the title, I have several shots I'm planning to post. I was presented with this amazing sunset and I can't decide which shot I prefer. Please let me know what you like and don't like about each shot. If you stick with me until I've posted them all, please let me know which one you like the most.

    They were all taken on Provia 100f with a 50mm lens.

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Another good shot. The sun adds energy to the photo. I can't help but wonder how it would look as a horizontal though.

    I would stop posting as I think this one is going to be hard to beat unless you have a landscape version with more sea and better definition in the foreground wave.

    The sun's rays are a knockout here.

    GB & Roger, thanks for the coments. I tried some landscape shots, but not as many. They just didn't work because the ocean came out too dark. The sand is as bright as it is because the sun is reflecting off it. I have one landscape shot that I may post later, but I think the vertical shots are all better.

    Thanks,
    Paul

    This one is definitely my fav out of the set. Love the sky and sun in this shot. Well done!
