This is the second of four sunset shots, all of which were taken on the 9th April down at St. Annes (the first one is here), and despite the similarities between this and the previous one, it was shot over an hour later, just as the sun was dipping towards the horizon. I'll post the other two over the next week or so.
If you're interested Jason's second shot of the same sunset is here …
Stunning! The luminosity of the colours really gives the image such a 3D feel and that has to be one of the nicest skies I have ever seen. Very nice shot.
Thanks Jason, and I agree, it was a spectacular sky.

I must have missed the first shot but this one made me go 'wow' as soon as I saw it. The pier really stands out against the sky and horizon. Of the two I think I like the first shot as there's more white in the clouds and it really stands out more for me.

Wow, this is really a wonderful shot. Have you used HDR on the clouds, the effect is fantastic!

Those clouds are absolutely spectacular, but I love the definition/contrast with the clouds and the blue sky beyond.
Am sure that the way the silhouette transcends both the blue and orange regions is not an accident... I think this really brings the image together.... cracking!
