DecadentDecadentI truly enjoy sunset photography and as any sunset enthusiast knows, a really, really good sunset can be far and in between. This was a stunning evening on the west side of Kauai. To shoot this I had the camera about 12" off the incoming surf and had to hastily move once the shot was taken to keep the camera dry from a breaking wave.
