    Another SoCal smokey sky shot ...

    When life gives you lemons, you shoot pictures of lemons, right?

    I was intrigued by MB1's "shoot landscapes down" thread, and his ideas seemed to work here.

    I love this sunset, i like how alot of the shot is quite dark and the sun really warms up the whole shot.

    Nice pping and composition. The footprints and tire tracks are a nice touch, I do think you should clone the trash in the sand though.

    Superb, One of the best sunsets I've seen in a long while.

    PS. don't clone the trash, I think it gives it realism

    Beautiful!
    I can't help but think about the fact that pollution makes sunsets prettier.
    Keep Shooting!

    Thanks for the comments. I agree that it would not look good to clone the trash.

    Very nice sunset/beach shot DrRoebuck. IMO, The only thing that distracts are all the tracks in the sand (Dang people!).
    Would love to see a link to MB1's work you refer to, but maybe I'll stumble across it.
