Safe Harbor

The tuna fleet and the day trippers made it back safely.

On a picture like this I am always as much interested in the boats as the skyline. I feel this one is cropped to tight and the boats lack detail.

I agree with Greg. When you shoot toward the sun at sunset, you really need to make use of a graduated neutral density filter to get more detail in the foreground without washing out the colour in the sky.

Greg/Ronoco:

Thanks for the comments. What I was hoping to achieve is what the eye sees in these last seconds of day light. Actually, there is more light in the photo than there really was; the eye sees the spirs of the boats against the color of the sky and does not pick up detail below. But, I understand what you are saying and appreciate it very much.
