Rings Around the Sun
We were looking forward to a predictably beautiful sunset created by the magical setting of the Fernandina Beach Marina. As the cloud bank crept above the horizon, I became resigned to a gentle orange glow in the sky, but nothing more remarkable. Then a splinter break in the clouds opened and created a Saturn-like pattern in front of the descending sun. How many times do photographers whisper to themselves - "YES" - grateful that their patience was rewarded?
While focusing ot he sun and its impact on the boats, you omitted any mention the incredible translucence of the water. You made this a very special image.
This is so, so, so good Barbara! Wow. Seriously. Wow. Breathtaking scene here, I am so glad you had the patience to wait for this! LOVE the colors and silhouettes in this fabulous image, and that sun is absolutely without peer in the photographic world! Awesome.
