Some people like the foreground and some don't. It's black volcanic sand that gives this place its unusual quality of light. I hinted at this in the title
Here are some more images taken at the same time:

There's something overly distracting about the foreground that I want to blame on overprocessing, but I think that's just the way it was. Really pretty but it just doesn't flow together for me. 7
The best thing about this is how golden the sand looks, it draws you into the sea, and the fiery sky. The curves of the sand shore are spectacular!!
Processed just nicely, not overdone like some other images on here.
this is almost surreal in it's appearance. the silky waves and sand look more like a generated image i would expect to see at digital blasphemy.
i can't fault you on the technicals, and it is definitely more sunset than silhouette (which many entries are turning out to be)
while i do expect the look of this to resonate strongly with voters, i'm also a little sad that i don't like it as much as i think i may have in a lot of other challenges due to the heavy processing.
i'm going to give this a 7 now to keep it higher in my list for a second look, and i reserve the right to change my mind based on how i feel after i finish voting 100% (this would normally be given a 9 or 10 by me but i'm jaded with this challenge line-up and the entries i've seen so far)
