This image captures the ever-so iconic Los Santos skyline in all its glory. The blend of purple, yellow and pink hues do a really good job of showing how scenic the game's lighting can be during the later hours of a day. Oddly enough, the colors in this shot look quite similar to that of Grand Theft Auto 6, as seen in the upcoming title's trailer.

Although the image is aesthetically pleasing, it is a typical GTA 5 sunset photo, which is why it is ranked fifth on this list.


4) Los Santos in Halloween

This is a shot of Los Santos during GTA Online's Halloween special event. The ominous orange and yellow hues make this scenery distinct from the previous entry.

Additionally, this image is very crisp, has a cinematic vibe, and like the last photo, features some of the most recognizable Los Santos architecture, such as the Maze Bank Tower and the unfinished Mile High Club building.


3) Deluxo on the horizon

Imponte Deluxo is one of the many GTA Online cars. While it has several uses in gameplay, thanks to its ability to fly, float on water, and shoot missiles, perhaps one of the most creative use of this futuristic ride has come in the form of this GTA 5 sunset photo.

There's not much going on in the scene here, but the Imponte Deluxo's silhouette in front of the setting sun, the colors, and the lens flare make for an incredibly unique shot.


2) Sunset in Paleto Bay

Paleto Bay is a small town in the northern section of the GTA 5 map. There's usually not much to do there when it comes to gameplay, but it looks like a great place to capture picturesque sunsets.

The lighting in this shot is rather stunning, glaring past the clouds. The other details, such as the mountain top in the corner and the fighter jet, add more character to the image. Therefore, it is ranked second on this list of GTA 5 sunset photos.


1) Deveste Eight in the sunset

This GTA 5 sunset photo can easily by passed off as an official promotional image for the game. The shot looks highly professional, with the spotlight equally divided between the Principe Deveste Eight, a GTA Online Super Car, and the magnificent sunset off the coast. The slight sepia tint and rays of light illuminating the vehicle add to the photo's detail and appeal.

All of this contributes towards making this shot the best GTA 5 sunset photo on this list.
