				Great shot flipfrog, the colours are amazing!
Did you consider taking it ~30sec exposure to get even more natural colour saturation and the ocean would look almost oil painted... What shutter speed did u use?

				There's a fair bit of "wow" factor in these images, isn't there?
Well done Dee.

				Ditto again here,
Love how the colour in the foreground matches the colour in the background.
Brilliant

				Simple and elegant. It works so well, I'll forgive you for not centering it.

				Dee
You're in the top five of my favourite photographers on this forum.  You have a distinctive trademark style with the heavily saturated images like this excellent one, but the versatility to do B & W or low saturation ones like your POTW.  It is a pleasure to see your work and I'm honoured to have the opportunity.  I look forward to many many more from you and can but aspire to the level of talent you show.
Sorry if this sounds a bit gushy, but your work really amazes me

				Once again, a great shot.
I too am impressed by the consistently good images you produce, and like the warm saturated feel of most of your photos.

				Great shot and the thing that captured me the most was the same colour tones throughout the entire photo.

				Very nice,
I have to join the rest of the mob and agree with the coments.
I'm also curious if and how you cropped the photo.
If you did, what does the original look like ?
Cheers
CD

				wow thanks everyone...  
 
 
i think you guys would be surprised to see the original 
b/c it is pretty much exactly the same...
there was no cropping at all...i used my tripod, 
b/c it was about 30 mins after sunset, and the only PP was cloning out a couple that were sitting in the pic, and then USM/levels...
the saturated colours came partly from on-board d70 saturation boost, but mainly the natural lights from the sunset over the ocean, and a yellow light producing street lamp that lit up the boardwalk...
the shot was taken in Peurto Vallarta, Mexico a few weeks ago.
as for the EXIF and original photo, i will get it up tonight after work...

				Top notch Flippie, as always, would appreciate a tad smaller file/size as it takes a long time  to download and I need to scroll across on my 12" iBook to see it. Great, Max

				I have sat here looking at this photo for ages.
Simply stunning!
Just one tiny thing. As I spent several minutes gazing at it my eye kept
returning to the small speck of light on the horizon towards the left hand
side. It could easily be removed.
But this is really exeptional. (If only I could take one like that)
