Went out to get a carton of milk and noticed that the sunset was looking interesting, so I diverted to the nearby Shoalhaven river to see if I could get any interesting shots. The tide was high and I had to wade out into the water waist-high (shorts got a bit damp) with my tripod to get a clear shot of the river. The sunset turned spectacular pretty quickly and shortly before it disappeared, a lone pelican glided into view. In the background are thousands of roosting seabirds just behind the local oyster beds.

I took this shot with an ND4 filter on my Canon EOS 550D with the standard kit lens. Hope you like it as much as I do.

I shot this in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico while on a cruise. Post-processing (tilt shift blur) & color correction done in Photoshop.
