Thanks, Ann for looking an for you kind comments. I agree; while I really like the protea in the second image -- it looks so light and airy -- the background is a mess.
Sunset 2 is a shot I have taken before, in previous visits to Maui, but this time there was more red in the sky, so I tried it (yet) again. Sunset 1 was taken to capture the extra color from the "vog" that drifted into this area when the trade winds took a vacation for a few days, allowing the dust and gas from Kilauea to reach Maui. It was just before one of my many unsuccessful efforts to capture the elusive "green flash."
