I thought about putting this in the ''Yellow" challenge, but didn't feel that it would be strong enough to finish at my current 5.3 overall average for challenge shots. Sunsets tend to get hammered in challenges.
Tripod, polarizer, zoom at 300mm, 1/3 sec.
Levels, brighten some, reduce sat a little, tint toward green a little, noise.

Stunning shot, love the smooth gold colours and the bird just off to the side finishes it off perfectly. Great composition Waddy.

Oh Waddy, I wish you would have included this beauty in yellow. I would have given you a very nice score. I think this is a lot better than most sitting in that particular challenge.
Beautiful.
I am heading your way in just less than a month now. We'll be in the middle of the state and about an hour north of Orlando. I'll be thinking about you when I see those red eyes at sunset.

You want us to comment on one and you give us 4 beautiful shots?! My verbosity is being thwarted ;-p

Meanstwhile back to actual commenting: the light was great in all 4 but I love the calm beauty of this one. A fabulous capture of what it feels like to quietly watch the sun set over wetlands.
