A view not often seen, especially with the seals laying about.

It was dusk, and this was a hand-held (no IS) snapshot - yes, I said it - a snapshot, but I liked the light play on the water from the fishing boat's lights and the seals snoozing away in the foreground.
The post-processing on this was basically only convert from raw, levels adjustment and resize. The composition was done in camera.

Had to grin at a comment that the reflection is distracting - THAT was what made the shot for me. Oh well, I guess these old eyes don't see the same as others, and happy that they don't.
WooHoo! Third worst in my 270+ entries.

For me, there isn't too much that hasn't been seen on DPC: water, skyline, boat, night shot, etc. It's not a bad image, and I like seeing the seals in the lower left, but for me, not all that unique.
imho this is an ok evening shot but not really a never seen on dpc and totally unique image that has any wow factor. The suns reflection is very nice mind you.
The light on the water overpowers the rest of the image to me. Some processing work would take care of that, I think, and let the other parts of the image be more apparent. (not voting)
