Wow, wow and wow! So supreme. Love this sun setting and a ship in view going to who knows where. Love the capture of sun rays towards the beach. Love the light play on the waves. So stunning, gorgeous and great with details. Love, love and love! Thanks for sharing this one and many more to come.

Joanie You are simply The Best. What a Wonderful review. Your comments almost make me cry. I know I am not supposed to do that. I have to tell you the Truth Joanie. Most of the photos I take, especially the ones like these, I cannot take credit for. It's True. When I am out walking along the shores and I see a scene like this, something happens. I realize that God has set the scene before me and all I am supposed to do is push the button. It is hard to explain. Something takes over and I go into this 'zone' and it is like I am being led to move this way and then that way, to do as I am being told to do. It is like I am moved to a position and then the word comes "Now, push the button'. I am always amazed to see what happens and to see the actual photos. I KNOW I could Never capture scene like these. It is like they are captured For me and I am simply along for the ride...simply there to 'push the button'. Sorry, I did not mean to carry on like that. Too much wine I think. Anyway, I do So thank you for the wonderful review and comments. Your rating is actually Recognizing the ONE who set the scene up for me to attempt to capture. So for HIM I thank you for the Extra Sparkle. Thank you Joanie ~ Steve

Its amazing from God's eye view and to your eye view. I have had the same event in my life over and over. Awe, I thank you for the vote and your honest felt feeling for me and my review. I am humble for this.

Comment from Cindy Sue Truman
What a gorgeous capture. It has feeling of peace and new beginnings. Solitude, no people and the gorgeous hues. This would so be my place to reflect and talk to God. With no people on the shore I could listen for God and the Holy Spirit. I have never been on a cruise however it is on my bucket list. I keep my bucket list in my bible and cross them off when fulfilled. You have done a awesome capture here Steve. Blessings to you Always, Cindy Sue.

Thank you so very much Cindy Sue for your spiritual review and comments. These are Special moments for me. It is such a spiritual thing when God sets the scene. All I have to do is push the button. It is almost like HE takes over. HE tells me where to move, what to frame in the scene, and 'How HE wants it done'. It is such a deep thing that I am no longer present and simply wait, move and push the button on my iPhone when HE says 'Now'. That is why I never take credit for these types of shots. Even I am just amazed and in awe of the images. What A Great God!

Yes I too am in aweeeee of God?s creations. For He made all things Great or small. You will love Photo shop. You said you like to layer. I use the free app: Superimpose. The Superimpose X . Cost $4.99. It looks awesome. I am 😔 sad because it?s only good with iPhone 7 and above. I am completely self taught. Many of my errors have become my best works.

Comment from orchidrn
This is a really beautiful scene of the ship sailing into the sunset, and the thick layer of clouds above. I like that the ship is set to the right of the sun and seemingly balanced by the rocks to the left of the picture. Well balanced and very pleasing to the eye!

Another gorgeous sunset with beautiful reflection on the water and the wet sand. Good placement of the sun coming down in your scene with the unique pirate ship adding interest. An excellent composition and beautiful sunset scene with nice movement in your photography. Excellent photography as well as post-processing skills. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Cool,Steve!
It's an attractive picture and it's one that I'm really enjoying!
The strangely rigged 'pirate ship' makes me think of the infamous Ghost Ships ( The Flying Dutchman and her like! ) of Nautical Legend!
'Good Show',my friend!

Hi Sharon. Thank you for your review. You know as many times as we have stayed in Puerto we have never taken the tour. We are going back to Mexico for 5 months and will be spending two months in Bucerias which is about 30 minutes from Puerto. We just have to do that cruise this time. The sunsets there are spectacular as you know. Thank you again for the review Sharon ~ Steve

Wow! Gorgeous stunning scenery! The vibrant sunlight takes your breath away especially reflecting on the ocean! The ship gives the photo a story feeling to it too! This is an amazing and exceptional photo! I'm so in love with it! Catches your eye on The sand reflection and around by the rocks and into the sky! Perfection!
