The beach at sunset. I took pictures of this Japanese tourist couple kissing (there are loads of them in Hawaii). Stealth. Yeahh. Anyway, it was sweet, how they were in their own little world and so into eachother, not caring that some random kid was taking pictures of them from afar.
They probably didn't notice, anyway, because they were so into eachother.
I took loads of shots of them and this is one of the few that weren't blurry--it's hard to take sharp pictures with a point-and-shoot at night, especially without a viewfinder.
This wasn't taken specifically for the challenge and I don't think it entirely fits, but maybe with the trite, clever-but-not-clever, spin-off title it'll get something, eh?
And for once I've submitted days early, not minutes before the deadline!

I as ticked off more at my blindness for not noticing the weird cubic thing going on in the clouds than getting DQ'd...again. Hah. Rebel.
The halo aroud the couple was intentional. Ish. As for the weird cubism thing, something went wonky in the resizing or saving for web or filtering. One of those. I probably didn't notice it because I looked at it too long; it was one of those things where you look at something until you don't see it at all.
This would have done all right if not for technicalities. Oh well. There's a better version on my deviantart account.
Lovely shot and I really really like the negative space, the extremely low horizon and the cloud detail. Let down for me by the vivid sharpening halo around the silhouetted couple. Still one of my top 20 in this challenge.
I can see what you were attempting - a nice simple composition. But I think it would have had more impact if you'd zoomed in a bit and made the subjects just a little more prominent.
Beautiful sunset! Would have been a stronger shot to have the people a little closer. Without your title, I wouldn't have gotten "indulgence" from this shot.
I love the color and the composition. However, I am seeing some strange boxes in the clouds there. It looks like it's either nasty artifacts from a jpg compression or neatimage on steriods. Too bad since it's perfect otherwise. That couple just completes the image giving it lots of a wow.
this is an interesting shot composition wise and beautiful colors but those big boxes in the clouds are really distracting. would have been better to just crop them out i think
