Oh, WAY underrated in my opinion. I had this as one of the ribbon-winners, sheesh. Congrats on top-20!

Thanx for the kind words. Check my "yellow" and "refractions" when they finish to see I'm most assuredly NOT always near the top :-)

As for the low votes, I don't see enough of them on this shot to bother me. Some people just don't like hyper-processing, which this most asuredly is. The colors have been goosed and manipulated to suit my vision of what the scene looked like, and they are what I call "hyper-real"; ditto the aggressive sharpening. It's not to everyone's taste.

This is really quite wonderful, the tonal range of it is exquisite and the composition is compelling. Congrats on the ribbon!

When people complain that *I* live in a spectatcular place, I'll just point them at this and say "No, THAT'S spectacular; I'm just another beach..." FINE sunset, yup :-)

Beautiful image, determinedly donw-key rendition of yellow. I hope it does better than I suspect it will...

I understand what you're after here, but I'm not sure how well the red car is working for you in the particular composition. I admire the concept though...
