Sunsets

[rnpereira]

Hello,

First topic here, and I'll start with sunsets. Its a subject that I like to shoot. And since im new both here and at photography, all comments are more than welcome. Also any tips would be nice.

These photos were taken in Toque toque grande beach. Its a small beach from Sao Sebastião city, Brazil. I spent 10 days at that beach, and had this amazing, and single, opportunity to took these photos.

The third shot is really nice.

Nice, very nice. I like how you can see the sun's reflection twice in the first one. The second is also cool, but it's crooked. The third is also very pretty, nothing to complain about there. Maybe bring out the water just a little more and add some contrast. Overall, these are very good.

I like the 3rd one

I also like the 3rd. The second I think needs a horizon adjustment.

RIGHT number 3 is the best because... there are multiple points of interest in the other 2. The sun and it's reflection(s) and the island. Crop to get rid of the sun in number 1 and 2.

All are good, but I agree with everyone number 3 stands out. These shots make me want to go to the beach.

First, thanks for all of your comments.

Thanks, I like the first one too! Love the reflection on the water.

Yeah, i was sitting on a chair on the sand. It`s all the chairs fault! :P

Im gonna crop the sun in number 1 and check for the result. But in number 2 the idea was to get the sun and its reflection on the water. What if I remove the island? Would that make a better photo?
