Huntington Beach Sunset

 

We've had gorgeous colors in our sunsets the last few days of the holiday.  Unfortunately, I got to the beach just a little later than I would have liked to for this sunset picture.  Still, I really enjoyed it and hope you will too.

 

Happy New Year!

Christine, all the colors are there in your picture. You just need to take it to something like Lightroom or PaintShop Pro and do a little post processing. If you would give me permission, I'd like to download it and modify it to show you what you could do with it.

Added with edit: You should enter it in the Russel Ray Photos January contest.

Eric - You're welcome to play with it and see what you come up with.

I would love to go to the coast and get some great sunset photos as well, but I'm afraid I would be too cold. I wish we had your warm nights right now.

Rebecca - We're really fortunate in the colors we get here in Orange County.

Steve - Thank you so much : )

Todd - I know a place you could come visit where it's 70 degrees in January and take cool beach pics.  You could have extra company too.
