Jewel Of The Adriatic

This wasn't the image I'd envisaged as I ascended a steep hill just south of Dubrovnik in southern Croatia. I'd hoped for a dramatic sunset, but the sun stayed stubbornly behind the type of cloud I'm more familiar with in the West of Ireland. The light here drops like a stone compared to Ireland, so this was a hurried shoot before total darkness descended. This is a blend of 3 exposures to capture the the sky, the foreground, and the wonderful city of Dubrovnik, glistening in the Adriatic, as it has done for millennia.
