Sunset in Paradise

Gallery: LandscapePosted July 14, 2012358 views5 comments

Shot this sunset in Costa Rica this past spring from the South East side of the Gulfo Dulce with the sun setting behind the Osa Peninsula. A large thunder storm was clearing off just in time to produce a beautiful sunset. Comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

This is a beautiful sunset and I love the warm tones and feeling. For me, there's not quite enough structure or detail to balance all that color but that's my personal taste. You've captured some excellent texture in the surf and the sun-star is mesmerizing.

A beautiful sunset, Joe! Wonderful colors and I like how the bottom edge of the clouds are lit up. The foreground shoreline looks great with the reflections. Very nice.
