Bondi By Night
Thought Id have a go at catching a sunset at Bondi.
D50 - AF-S NIKKOR 18-70mm 3.5-4.5G ED
Nice, but the water doesn't seem too soft. Would prefer a longer exposure to make the water silky.

Come follow the rabbit hole...
Gorgeous shot admajic. I like the churning water, it provides a nice contrast to the beautiful smooth tones in the sky.
I completely agree with Wendell, one of your best shots by far  So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!
Hey Guys! Thanks for your comments so far.
Here is another from the same session. I really need to learn more about Photoshop but getting there. 
This one has that more silky smooth feel about it. Its uncropped just straightened. D50 - AF-S NIKKOR 18-70mm 3.5-4.5G ED
Holy Dooly - I feel like the sea is coming straight at me in the second shot !!!!!!
Well done

cool colours and silky water
another option is to buy a ND filter, get an 8x but if your daring get a 64x depending on when you take the pic you can set the camera for a much longer exposure and get silky heavenly water i used a ND 64x here 1minute f8, the light was early morning light not too bright http://www.zeduce.org/images/experimental/deewhy4.jpg Smooth as
These are superb. I'd also be interested in a crop of #1 just above the rocks on the left to give a pastelly sunset pano with a hint of silky water at the bottom.

Adam...looks like you are heading the right direction
 The exposure looks ok but I think the composition could have some changes.
I would have liked to see more of the colorful clouds and less of Bondi in the background. The other part I would have maybe done differently is have more of the rocks in the foreground to lead into the image. The silkiness of the water is good and I like....I have noticed we suffer the same issue with the color of the water...I don't know why but it does capture at this odd semi cyan strangely blue color this time of year with a longish exposure
