With apologies to the OP, look at the wheels on that favorite "sunset" photo...

Talk about "photo shopped"! Nice as the picture is at first glance, it is soooo "photo shopped" as to appear as a surreal abortion to any shutter bug with a critical eye for composition: clear skies at the golden sunset, but yet there are (white) light highlight reflections from above and left. The artwork looks clumsily and unnatural - probably shot in a studio with a white cove backdrop and then cut and pasted onto that beach.

I don't mind diffused, multi-angle fill flash to chase shadows and bring out highlights in the subject's natural setting. But, that picture looks like a hack-job, far as photo-art goes - IMO.

But, I digress...
