Which Sunset Photo Do You Prefer? - Speechless Sundays

Huntington Beach Sunset

Lovely Newport Beach Sunset

I feel so fortunate to live where I do. I don't know the number of sunsets I've seen in my life. I have lived on or near Newport Beach, CA most of my life and still love the sunsets.

When I was on Santorinia in Greece several years ago, we were told we had to go to one area to watch a sunset. As spectacular as it was, nothing for me tops the ones here.

So, this weekend I was out taking photos and can't make up my mind on a few of them, so I decided to put it out to my AR family.

What do you think? Which one is your favorite?

I'm fond of the first one too! But the last one gives a feeling of finality to the day. There is something about those final seconds when the sun dips down below the horizon that are simply magical.

Christine,

My vote is the second one (B). I like the bird taking us away from the center that actually anchors the sun. :)

C for me! I like the cool blue water contrasting with the warm orange of the setting sun. D is a close second choice as the afterglow is a glorious moment just before darkness arrives.

Sorry, Christine - I love them all! My kids used to call me Sunset Suzi because when we lived in Orange County I used to go out to the beach frequently just to watch or photograph the sunset.

Susan - I love the nickname. The sunsets are one of the reasons I love where we live. Of course, there are too many other reasons to name. ; )

Definitely A, the colors are much more vivid and the birds seem to make for a better composition. Great shots.

I'll vote for C. But I think the horizon needs to be leveled. Sometimes I'm out snapping away, then get home to look at my photos, only to relize the my world must be on a perpetual slant. Go figure!!!
