These were taken as an assignment for class to pick and shoot for a specific theme. Mine was silhouettes. PP is minimal, just some sharpening and levels. Color was obtained from an amazing sunset, and aided by using a custom WB around 7500 to warm up the color even more.

And no, none of them are posed.

Sunny California, of course. Santa Monica beach.

Those are great shots! I love the color in that second image. They all have this great story telling feel to them.

I'm finding that's not easy to do. When you achieve it though, the image has depth beyond just what you see. It ignights other emotion other then just the visual senses. You can almost feel as if your right there in the image and imagining the other things that might be around that you don't see and think about what you might smell or feel. It's a cool reaction to an image. Keep up the good work. :-)

All great shots. I'm not sure why you don't like the last one...I think it's great!
Makes me miss the ocean, and the sunsets. :(
