Great shot. The reflection really makes it.

This is Huntington Beach. On my way home from work today, I was coming over a hill and noticed some thick smog in the sky line and some interesting clouds in the West. I knew that the combination should make for an interesting sunset and so I headed to the beach.

Here are two more. The first one was taken within a minute of the sun setting. The second was 11 minutes after. The colors completely changed from yellow to red during this time.

Wow! Excellent colors in all of them. The first is my favorite. It's amazing how small the window is for a sunrise/sunset. When you go back and look at the shots, you can really see the variations as the ideal window for a good shot passes by.

The third one has the best sky/water in my opinion... But I prefer the composition of the first one.

I see a very common problem - how are going to decide which print to hang on the wall ? Nice, very nice!

Okay, here's one more. I took 200 pictures in that 15-20 minute window and totally overlooked this one when I first went through them to decide which ones I would post process. This is 4 minutes after sunset and look totally different from the moment of sunset when everything was yellowish and 10 minutes after when the color red dominated. I like how the ground looks like glass here.
