Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) During The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, our Navy built a 27 acre island about 500 yards from the shores of Key West Florida. The original government plan was to use this island as a fuel tank depot, so it was officially named Tank Island. However that plan never became a reality and years later this man-made island was sold to private developers. Every evening as the sun sinks slowly in the west, hundreds of tourists come to Mallory Square on Key West just to watch Nature's spectacle. Now you can easily see why they changed the name from Tank Island to ... Sunset Key.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
