Jenner Sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Softly the evening came.
The sun from the western horizon like a magician extended his golden want o'er the landscape;

Trinkling vapors arose;
and sky and forest seemed all on fire,
and melted and mingled together."

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There is one universal love and that is sunset and sunrise. For a few fleeting moments the earth, waters and sky put on a show of colors only seen then.
This image is sunset at Jenner, California where the Russian River enters the Pacific Ocean.

Hi Ray!
Sunsets are always magical and this one is no exception. I would have tilted it back CW quite a bit and worked on the dark parts. Crouched down a bit deeper and you would also have a great reflection of the trees.
Hope all is well. Sorry I missed you in Munich!
Take good care,
Linda
P.S. I love the note! Softly the evening came.... melted and mingled together... very romantic!

Fantastic shot. The colours and sunset exposure are enough to enjoy. The technique is great, the exposure is perfect and the moment is precious.
Just watching the sunset hueing the clouds and the surface of water!
Well done!
