Well...I pulled out my portrait of a very beautiful girl at the last minute to give way to this sunset shots...just to make a point that there's more to my photography than portraits.:) I guess nobody would guess this is mine.

You're right - I would have never guessed.
Still managed a people shot though and got into the top twenty!
Congrats once again Manny!
(Great title too by the way.)

You were right, I didn't know this was yours, but you could still see there was a master behind the cammera of this one.

This beautifull picture would have more impact if the right and bottom thirds were cropped out.

I find the colours particularly attractive here. Very sharp too.

An absolute favorite of mine. Reminds me of the early hours on the beaches of Sri Lanka. Amazing colors, great composition and mood. I give it a 10 :)

Neat shot, love the composition, a sunset shot with a purpose!

Truly beautiful colors. Great reflections.

04/24/2005 06:12:13 PM
Great feel to this image but I would have tried to catch the all of the boat in the foreground.

Just a excellent silhouette and sunset....a pure 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/23/2005 01:50:03 PM
I am a sucker for a silhouette. The top of the mast leaving the frame is a little distracting, but it is an overall very nice shot. I wonder what a closer view of the people with the sun and only the two centermost boats in the shot might have looked like.

Great silhouettes. I really like the reflections that are on the beach. Nice job. 8

This one is a good one and the best sunste photo I have seen in this challenge now.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/21/2005 01:08:13 PM
Nice silhouettes here and well framed with the different sizes of boats, good shot overall....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/20/2005 11:48:41 PM
Coloration glory here! The cutting off sails on both sides of the fram distress my eye a bit. I want to see the whole scene. I love the story told by the figures on the beach and the people out on their boats.

Great shot, composition and capturing of the moment
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/19/2005 10:23:32 PM
Superb. I thought I had finally grown tired of sunsets, that I'd never score another sunset above four or five. This blows that theory out of the water! I love the colors, the reflections, the silhouettes, the people and actions, and the sails.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/19/2005 09:35:10 PM
Gorgeous colors and reflections. Super shot.

Hey librodo :)...ok ok so i was looking through your web site and I saw it...if not i wouldn't have guessed. I still have to say that your portraits are the best and how you make them is you....I hope this does well ;)

Very powerful colours, brilliant shiluettes and packed with life. A square crop from the left leaving the sun dead center would also have worked well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/19/2005 02:44:21 PM
Wonderful color and focus. Enjoy looking at this one. 9

nice pix. love the silouettes. blacks good, whites need work. great color. good comp. good lines. great dof. nice perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/19/2005 08:38:06 AM
Beautiful. I loce the candid nature of the figures and their silhouettes, the reflections and everything. Only criticism is that the reds in the reflection of the sun itself seem oversatured and I would pull those back just a tad either through a color burn, or by not bumping up the saturation in that particular area.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/19/2005 08:34:46 AM
WOW! Great piece of stock travel photography. Well balanced composition with great flow.
