Hi. Nice shot. About the power lines. If you have Abobe Photoshop use a clone tool to clone sky over the line. You could trying shooting from a different point to remove the lines (maybe further back to the left if possible) Keep up the good work. Cheers John

Yes, I know...those powerlines. They take away from the beauty of nature. Being new to all of this, I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to edit the lines out of the photo. Which is the best program to use and how do you go about it? Any advice would be very helpful and appreciated. Thanks.

I love this shot...I have a similar shot I took a few years ago in Waikiki...too bad that man has to ruin such a view with powerline/phonelines

I think the composition could be improved by cropping the top of the picture near the top of the palms, making it close to square. I love the contrasting dark foreground and the beautiful blue of the ocean and sky. Of course cloning out the lines would help clean it up as well if this were allowed in the rules.

Powerlines are the scourge of photographers. Awesome shot other than that. Most tropical susnets emphasise warm colors. I really like that yours looks very cool.

Nice shot! Deep colors are atrractive. The trees are really silhouhettes, the picture would even be better when some details in the "underexposed" foreground appear.

Wonderful shot, great silhouette, beautiful colours. I find the lines a slight distraction, but despite that a very good shot. 7

Beautiful palms and sunset. But the photo feels a little crowded. It would be nice to get rid of the power lines too.

Would be better without the (power?) lines across the image.
