Wow what a great way to ruin a sunset. Take the color out of it. But fear not, thanks to all the pretentious knuckleheads that would rate a picture of dung with high marks if it were B&W, you've scored a ribbon. WTG! Congrats on figuring out how to win the popularity contest among these wacky voters. Now if only you'd run for president to give the economy a boost by giving the comedians some more material for the next 4-8 years we'd be set.

Oh I'm kidding! Seriously nice work. I would never have thought to desat a sunset but it works.

I guess,

To each his own.

Sincerely,

HeadKnucklehead.

That should have been my username. HeadKnucklehead. It's like H2O, only it'd be H2K. Unlike Y2K, actually a real disaster waiting to happen.

Yours Truly,
H2K

Congrats!! Your blue ribbon is SO well deserved, this was a 10 for me :-)
I used to go sailing in those waters but didn't recognize Long Beach port (tsk tsk tsk). Quite the perfect image!

Beautiful b&w. Unusual to take the color out of the sunset, but it certainly worked well for you here. Congratulations on your blue ribbon.

One of those times when a single saturation works. I love the detail of the nick on the thumb. My kind os shot.
