Debra, Pat, Jennifer, SuSana, R&A, Cindy, Paul, Dominick, Colleen, Sherry, Tammy and Vishal, I really appreciate the kind and encouraging comments! I would say it is now my fav sunset image of all the many I have taken. I guess since the sun didn't shine until evening, it decided to put on a spectacular display! :D #4840828

Carol, This is just beautiful. I went to Indian Rock Beach when I was in Largo to see my Mom. I tried to get sunset photos, but nothing like this.
Outstanding. #4841393

Carol Teal September 25, 2007

Susan, Peaches, Colleen and Mike thank you all so much for your kind comments and support!

Peaches, very little PS work was done here (besides the crop) except for cloning out a blue lounge chair and a very slight upping of saturation and vibrancy. I shoot RAW though, so I usually have to bump both these levels up slightly on all images. The colors were so vibrant I was amazed.

Colleen, you mean that isn't you sitting down there at the water's edge? :) #4844933

Very beautiful image, Carol!! #4846732

Carol Teal September 25, 2007

Oh Susan, did you visit there recently? I am really surprised with the color of this sunset, but I guess the clouds had a lot to do with it. I have found on winter days with clouds in the sky that the sunsets are just prettier. I was just so lucky that it popped out for this short amount of time because it rained all day until right before sunset. #4846807

Carol Teal September 25, 2007

Evy, thank you so much for your encouraging comment! #4846812
