What did you think ... I forgot to look at this image my Betsy friend??? :-)))
The composition and the idea is excellent!!! Gorgeous the silhouette of your son catching the sun light with the golden scenery of a beautiful ocean sunset!!!
Great creativity on this shot, Betsy friend!! :-)))) #7419011

Thank you Max! You know I always value your comments :))) This was taken at sunrise, I had wake them at 5am LOL! #7419023

Max Aureli April 19, 2009

WOW... because taken at sunrise makes even a better shot!! I read that to get golden colors on sunrise it's just a matter of minutes and, after that you start to get blue tonalities!!!! Great shot and congratulations on your deserved early shot EFP!!! Betsy friend!! :-))) #7419055

Betsy Labuschagne April 19, 2009

Thanks again Max! I didn't know that about golden colors, interesting :) We had nice sunrises over the ocean, sunsets were not really spectacular. I'm planning where to go on holiday next year to get nice coastal sunsets :))) #7419077

Max Aureli April 19, 2009

All the coast from Morocco and down to Senegal if you wont to stay in Africa or, Italy in the Tirreno sea coast!! From Rapallo, Portofino Le Cinque Terre down to Tuscany coast, Elba Island is spectacular, Punta Ala, Giglio Island and down to Amalfi coast, Positano, Sorento.... I will never finish!!! :-))) #7419137
