 I really don't think this will do very well. I like the natural framing and the siloutte, but I'm worried about the blue-gray in the water. I dialed down the saturation to take away the cartoonish look. I wasn't able to do what I wanted with the shot because my girls were getting restless (there was nothing zen about that moment) and couldn't wait on the sun to set any further. I had taken a similar shot a few days earlier that I liked much better, but it was a few days before the challenge was announced.
