Default Sunset off Mauritius

I attended a friend's wedding in Mauritius which is a small island off the Eastern coast of Madagascar and Africa and took this picture of the setting sun on our first evening there. It was one of the most spectacular sunsets I'd ever seen and I was quite happy to be able to capture it on camera.

Love the sky, silhouette, and the reflection. They combine to make a very excellent image.

Thanks everyone! I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't fiddle with the warmth/hue/saturation of the image a bit, but it's such a great sunset already that I'm quite happy to say that there's absolutely no post-processing done on it and then leave it at that
