  As before, this is very beautiful.
Glad you are taking the time to rework it and bring out even more beauty to it. It so deserves it. I can't imagine actually being there and seeing this in person. What a gift that was!

  Gary this is by far one of your better pieces of work, it has everything, drama, colour, impact and amazing detail. I would love to say that we will see this again but I have to wonder they way things are going, almost like blindness is setting in.....it is a beauty that I would love to have in my home!!!

  Gorgeous seascape at sunset, Gary, with wonderful tones of gold! I like the way the line of the clouds mirrors that of the water. Well done!!

  This is a truly stunning capture of an equally stunning sunset, Gary! There probably aren't too many people who know where Diego Garcia is. My husband is a Merchant Marine and spent a good deal of time there several years ago. Too bad he's not a photographer! Thank you for your kind comment!
