Absolutely lovely Susan. There is just nothing that surpasses a beautiful sunset.Even though the image is probably straight, the edge of the river and the trees give an illusion of a tilt so try rotating it just a bit to the right.
The Sacramento Delta is one place I've missed. Any recommendations as to where to go in that area for good photo ops? #1333053

If I had this horizon line from my back deck, I wouldn't be able to pass up all these phenomenal sunsets we have been having lately. Good job, Susan. #9083155Aimee C. Eisaman December 06, 2010
Amazing Susan! I'm glad that you are back even if you are still in alot of pain. The details in the clouds along with the reflection of the colors in the water hold my attention. Very lovely! :~) #9083605Susan M. Reynolds December 06, 2010
Thank you everyone...Dale, the right side of this was a curving bend in the River so it was straight, just appears that way because of the shadow silhoute created by the lighting...I can assure you I was thinking of YOU when I shot these making sure the horizon was level 'in camera' as I took each shot - so ingrained has the impact been of your tutelage!Susan M. Reynolds December 06, 2010
I meant the left side. Here is a shot of the same spot in the daytime of a different day, but maybe zoomed in closer. #9083774Joan E. Hoffman December 06, 2010

That's a great sky and sun star in the second picture, Susan.I remember walking on that beach just last July! It was the first time I'd seen the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers.
