Shot this back in 2007 and reprocessed it for this gallery. This was sunset on a small tidepool. I was attracted to the rather intense colors, and I liked the color contrast as well. Larger view included as well.

Critiques, suggestions, and comments always welcomed and appreciated. Thanks for looking.

A great study in light and shadow, Bill. Almost an abstract, but high art regardless.

Bill, I truly recall this image from when you first posted it here at NPN. A wonderful scene captured displaying not only great color but also the contrast between water, land, sky, setting sun light, and what may even be small wind patterns on the water surface as well. It's got it all.

Bill,

I remember this as well. Contrast of colors are what stands out for me too. Simple and beautiful.
