This was the first sunset of 2005. Beautiful night.

Great color. This really has power. I like the leading lines from lower left to upper right. It was considerate of the bird to fly into the pic, too. But the black rock in the lower right is empty looking. I'd be tempted to crop the photo horizontally just below the lowest rock outcropping and then use a cloning tool to fill in the remaining black void with water from the image. #214608Mark D.

Thanks. I knew the rock was a little too empty, I just didn't know how to deal with it. Simply cropping it just might do the trick. #1098693Rob Mesite February 11, 2005
I agree with all of the above comments. Can you possibly isolate the rock and use curves (or levels) to bring out details? I'd hate to lose the leading lines of the shore with a crop. That's nit-picking on a terrific image, though. #1098713Wren Hendrick February 11, 2005
Beautiful!!!!! Breathtaking!!!! By the way, I'm buying a Z3 tomorrow--give me your opinion on your Z2--Thanks!!! #1098807Mark D. Egan February 12, 2005
I love my Z2. I had a point & Shoot Sony 5MP Cybershot (which I also loved), until it got stolen on a bus. I took the opportunity to get buy a more advanced camera, and I'm loving it. I researched the cameras out there thoroughly, and the z2 seemed to be a good camera for someone wanting more advanced options but still a very user-friendly interface. I could tell you a ton more, but basically it is a camera made by an experienced camera maker, and I'm sure the Z3 is of equal quality. Let me know if you want more details.#1098830
