Sunsets - Tahiti

[websailor]

Since we seem to have a few sunset threads going on currently, I thought I'd post a few that I took on a Tahiti cruise - especially since I'm going back there tomorrow....

Please make comments and suggestions - I'll make sure I look at this when I get back.

The first picture was sunset on the way over from Los Angeles taken thru an airplane window. There is a bit of ice on the window, hence some of the blur and funny shapes. And of course the angles I could take were quite limited...no moving around to get the sun situated in the right place Still every time I see this picture it evokes the sense of flying away to something....a new beginning, a foreign country, a place away from where I'm at....

The second picture is taken on the ship of a plain old sunset. But those two clouds... that adds some interest. And then what's up with that water?

The third picture is a classic (to me at least) sunset with a sailboat photo. The cloud formations are neat, but it makes it hard to tell that the dark mass on the right, on the horizon, is an island. I guess I broke the 1/3 rules here with the ocean going right across the middle.

The fourth picture is a lucky, get-it-while-you-can, shot as our ship passed a coastal freighter with the sun going down behind it. I like it....but, heck, how could websailor not like sailing pictures?

I don't think I did any cropping on these pictures, though it's possible. If I did, it wasn't anything major. I know I have not altered the colors, done any Photoshopping, etc on them.

Comments and helpful hints welcome! These being the 2nd photo(s) I've posted here, I'm sure there are lots of things I can improve upon! Be kind to the newbie, but tell me how to take better sunset pictures......that's why I'm here in the critique section after all!!!!!
