Patricia, this is wonderful! The palm fronds peaking into the shadows make it really special. WINNER! Ding! ding! ding!

  Thanks, Piper. I have what I think is a little more dramatic shot of this, but the horizon is crooked. And I'm not sure how to correct that. If you know how to do that in Photoshop Elements, please let me know.

  The only way I know how to fix a horizon is to use the crop tool and turn at the corners. It's a good idea to do this before you crop down to your finished crop since you will lose some of the shot. You can always fill in the white areas afterward with your paintbrush if you don't want to crop so much.

  Patricia,
another way to correct your horizon....in P S go to edit/transform/rotate.
try both ways and see which you're comfortable with. Nice shot.

  Thanks very much Carol. Utilizing the previous tips on how to fix a crooked horizon, I'm going to be submitting another photo I took of this sunset through the palm fronds.
