This is a photo I took in Fiji on Plantation Island. Dinner was being served out on a kind of sandbar and I saw this sunset developing. I had to excuse myself from the table, wade into the water and take this picture. It was a film photograph and has not been edited. Paradise indeed! There is nothing like the South Pacific.

I would definitely leave the dinner table to record a scene like this. Don't you just love it when Mother Nature decides to show off when you've got your camera in hand? Great choices for the composition. Very nicely done.

Artist Reply: Thanks, Mike! The exotic looking boat in the water is really two boats -- in the background is our dive boat--a modern power boat with two large outboard motors. And another boat is closer, but together they do look exotic and fit the scene.
