A very nice sunset shot posted here! Your fine and traditional composition allows us to enjoy your beautiful dusk. Bet those two loved it! Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Intriguing shot. I guess we can tell they are "old" by looking at the body posture, clothes and support they provide to each other, but since it is a silhouette there is nothing that tells us they are old. I like the concept of "in the sunset of their lives" as a theme and I think it comes off. I wish the black wave line wasn't blocking out the middle of their bodies. Nice reflections (both theirs and the suns) and good consistent color. Focus is good and it is an interesting shot. Well seen.

thanks so much Charles;
the black area is just a small elevation of the ground in the middle of the wet sand at very low tide; the water is very far away: just the bright are at the horizon line;, about 400-500 meters away; these are local people who wouldn't take the risk to walk so close to the water at low tide.

Ah, sand flats forever. It does look like a bit of a wave. I still wish it didn't hide them as much. Getting to that point in life myself, I can appreciate not being too close to the actual water. It is a nice shot with an appropriate story.
