After loocking at Buzzz's beatiful post "Costa Rica Sunrise" I decided to share with you some sunset shots I took while at Manuel Antonio Beach, located in Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

Thanks for looking!

Hi Hayward! Your comment will make anyone´s day, thanks a lot!
FoG, Thank you! And yes, it a beautiful place. Actuallly there´s a National Park and reserveless than a mile from where these pictures were taken.
VegasMike, Thanks! I am glad you liked them. Curious fact, the first two were taken with a point&shot (Canon S5IS), the camera I started with.

Thanks again!

I love the one with the person walking on the beach and the reflection of the sunlight in the tide on the sand!! So great!

This is a great set. The colors are amazing and I really like the framing on the second shot. I want to be there right now!

Hi again. Thanks a lot for your kind comments!

thetravelingdreamer, looks like that one is the most liked of the series. Definitively the details you mention add a lot to it. Thank you!

ZannieGirl49, it is kind of tricky, thoise colors do not last long so one needs to be prepared and cross fingers

The framing you mention is interesting. These series was shot, mostly, from a sidewalk next to the beach. I was walking with my youngest son and noticed the natural frame; so, I stopped, and talked a bit to him about framing. He lisiened and composed a shot, so did I. He did very well and is learning really fast for a seven years old boy.

kgb224, This time of the year sunsets at this location are simply spectacular, a real gift, and worth trying to preserve. Thanks a lot for your kind comment.
