Taken on 17 mile drive near Carmel beach. I wish I would have been able to take proper round sun for this image. I need to learn what kind of filters/techniques I should use to get round sun with similar kind of lighting.

HDR once again(merged 5 different exposures of same raw image and tome mapped)

Very nicely framed sunset photo, with the rocks and trees on either side. I also like the way those long wispy clouds just flow across the sky!

This is just stunning, and a great example of when using a centered composition works. That sky is incredible.

PAW - This picture is simply gorgeous. It looks like a well done oil painting with the vibrant colors. You did excellent on the sky colors. The cliff looks a little dark and hard to make out any detail on my monitor. I know you merged 5 shots, but if you either increased the exposure more in shots 1 and 2 or took a couple more at longer exposure it would have been interesting to see the cliff detail. I just love the 17 mile drive. kellymk, it's just south of Monterey California heading towards Big Sur and Point Lobos State Parks and where Pebble Beach golf course is. Beautiful part of the world.

Stunning colors! The scene is very eye catching. A little over sharpened, but otherwise very nice.

Very spectacular image, nice job with the HDR. Horizon may be a little to centered for my taste but this is gorgeous.

This is absolutely gorgeous! The vibrant blues mixed with the orange/yellow/read looks very good. There's no doubt this is an HDR but it sure makes great looking images.

Man that is spectacular. I think your sun is round, actually...I came to that conclusion after viewing at 400%. The blown-out sun is round and it is being mirrored in the horizon, giving it that widened appearance. My take, anyway, and I think it looks fine. BTW I also noticed that bit of lens flare just right of center, looks like an easy clone job if you're so inclined. This would make a great postcard or screensaver. Congrats on an excellent photo.
