this was taken at my friend's private beach.
i saw the sun hiding behind the coconut tree and thought it made a nice angle of shot.
i made it black and white. in color the brighness would have saturated surrounding "colors".
Excellent photo and great decision to use BW.
You are right. Sometimes a black and white of the sunset especially when it's framed the way you have makes perfect sense.
Well done and appropriate composition too !
