Default Sunset from Bora Bora

I shot this the night before last, it was the tail end of a sunset that started out unexciting, and ended up with this steel blue sea with a beautiful reflection on the lagoon.
The Island in silhouette, is Motu Topua which is one of the fringing islands on the reef around Bora Bora. I hope that you enjoy...

The shot is very good indeed, love the blue colors and the orange in the clouds.

Lovely shot, but i think the right side is TOO dark, try lightening that a bit.
