The colors in this photograph are so pretty it hardly seems of this world.
The misty mountain in the background is just gorgeous
and I like seeing the motion
of the small boats.
Truly a spectacular sunset with outstanding beauty.
Cyber six!

You're welcome

Love the purple cast in this photograph. I suspect that was the primary reason you took it. I also enjoy the composition of the darks in the lower left and the brightes in the upper right. Reasons for my five star vote.

Comment from Linda Prebyl
It is amazing how you get these photos. You must be on a boat or high above the water looking down. Great sunset, great imagination, lovely to look at.

Oh i love all the different colors in this photo. The mountain in the background makes it even more beautiful. And the boat just adds to its beauty.

A great capture Supergold. Looks like you are being treated with some lovely sunrises and sunsets. This is a wonderful composition with the boats adding some really good interest in what would have already been a delightful view.

Comment from cleo85
The mist in the low morning light gives the scenery a mystical appearance. The volcano in the background looks almost like an apparition. The circle in the water, drawn by the engine-testing boat adds an curious aspect which makes the unusual capture even more interesting.

Fred, another perfect shot but afraid I am all out of sixes.. will have to do a virtual on this.

The color palate is what makes this a stellar shot.

the boats (even the one circling) and the mountain peak in the background as to make this a perfect shot.

Well done.

Comment from Daphne Oberon
Mount Vesuvius! What a historic seascape bathed in sunset colors. From the wake the little boat appears to be circling for some reason. Interesting... Thanks for sharing, Daphne
