 Well... I have plenty of sunset shots from this place. It's my favourite place to take pictures in NZ.

Not much PP at all outside of lightroom. Noise ninja on the water, but most of it was done in LR with the brush things to get the stuff done and using the hue sliders to get the colours where I wanted them. So you know, i didn't touch the red colours, but they may have inadverdently been touched somehow so the red in the sky is totally natural. Rock on, Lake Taupo.

I caught this bang on sunset, so apologies for there not being a sun in frame but it didn't look as good.. and it's still a sunset.

I have this with a black and white desat inset frame with black piping that looks pretty sweet.

i'm gonna say 5.6 since that's what usually happens...

This did very well, but I have to say I'm a little sorry it didn't do better still. It has that something extra that makes it special. The DrAchoo shot was my runaway choice for blue, but I'd hoped to see this one yellow or red. Nice work!

It's almost more about the rocks and water...

There isn't enough depth or detail here. The front rock rocks, but the other ones are very dull and solid.
