A Sanibel Island sunset; where the world begins and ends each night

This photo is one I took on a family vacation to Sanibel Island, Florida. Each night, we walked to the beach to watch the sunset together. This night, rather than shoot from the beach out over the water, I decided to get in the water and shoot along the wave line coming in. I imagine the two subject’s silhouettes on the beach in the image are a couple having a romantic stroll and taking in the dreamy island backdrop.
