Today's picture by photographer Crystal Davis features yet another beautiful sunset. This one was captured at Key West, Florida's Mallory Square during one of their nightly celebrations which honor the uncommon beauty of those amazing Key West sunsets.

This picture has sort of an early 18th century "feel" to it, almost as if one is standing on the deck of a ship peering out into the impending darkness as a near-by pirate ship sails past. What a beautiful sunset!

Here are the camera and settings used to capture this image:

    Camera: Microtek Take-It MV300
    Focal length: 8mm
    Shutter speed: 1/250 second
    Aperture: f/3
    ISO: 100

    The locals in Key West have criteria they judge sunset photos taken at “The Southernmost Spot in the USA.” The best shots have to have a good sunset with lots of color, a sailboat silhouetted by the sun, and seagulls flying by. This shot has it all! The “Conches” (natives) of Key West would be impressed! Good job Ms. Davis!

    I have had the opportunity to see a number of those famous Key West sunsets, and they are very breathtaking to say the least. There is just something about the Florida Keys that makes sunrises and sunsets even more beautiful than you can ever imagine.
