Soundside Sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

Croatan Sound is an inlet in Dare County, North Carolina. It connects Pamlico Sound with Albemarle Sound, and is bordered to the east by Roanoke Island; Roanoke Sound is on the other side of the island. Its name comes from the Croatan Indians who once inhabited the area. This shot was taken while on a Thanksgiving week vacation to the Outer Banks at sunset one night. The sea oats are a familiar outline to many pictures there and are protected as they help protect the dunes from constant erosion. A truly beautiful time of year there.

Hello Lisa,

The is is an exceptionally beautiful sunset shot with the floral growth in the foreground in perfect focus — as it should be. One suggestion I would make is to present it at 800 pixels (horizontal dimension). It most certainly deserves to be seen in full bloom. In Photoshop, after sizing it, just save at a lower quality to make sure it does not exceed 300 kb.

Warm regards and have a good Sunday,

Bulent
