The day we had my grandfather's services, we had this beautiful sunset over the beach. My cousins and I sat, and we watched. One of the most peaceful moments in my adult life.

"California Sunset" is a beautiful photograph by BluEyezDigital that shows one of the most memorable moments on a Californian beach for everyone who sees it with his/her very own eyes.

The first thing we see about this photo is the colours. They form a very rich tonality that ranges between the warm yellos and oranges to the cold blues and the dull greys. There is also a high contrast between the foreground, duller and in darker colours, and the background, which looks much brighter. Moreover, the bright sun also projects a line of reflection on the centre-right part of the photo, illuminating it at the bottom, and forming a streak on the sea and at the edge of the beach. Above, in the sky, the soft degrading of the colours and the contrast between them gives the photo a very calm atmosphere, as well as the sea itself and the fact the people on the picture are very separated from each other.

The technique is simply fantastic - the picture has been taken from the exact angle, at the exact moment, with the proper objective. This clarity and this technique with which the photo has been taken gives the impression that it has been taken by a true professional photographer. at last, but not least, the bright sun gives the picture a lot of impact, so much that it could even be appreciated when seeing nothing but the thumbnail, when the details of the photo cannot be appreciated very well. Well, in this case, the photo can be fully appreciated when both looking at it iin the distance or very closely.

In conclusion, this photograph is a romantic view of a Californian beach at sunset, and a gorgeous moment to be remembered and shared with your closest friends and your family. Perfect as a Valentines Postcard for your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/lover, etc. Or just for someone you love.
