This really is a beautiful shot of an all time favourite subject matter of the sunset taken from the dock!.The colours are awesome and the fading light adds mystery. Finely composed and timed this makes interesting viewing!

Well here you go posting this incredibly beautiful and romantic sunset just when I think I have a shot at the contest prize. Lol.
The sky in this is really beautiful and warm and the perspective view is amazing.
I love the light and shadow over the water. Outstanding and poetic narrative that I'm going to need for one of my shots. This is really beautiful and serene FS, and outstanding and artistic photograph that I so enjoy viewing. Your signature!

Comment from Robert Plain


Very nice sunset (or the other). Colors are intense, but natural. I also like the foreground to give the picture some perspective. The birds on the water also add interest without distracting.

Comment from avmurray


This is indeed a glorious sunset Steve, and you have pictured it so well. The colors are just fantastic and almost out of this world, and the color of the sky is so nicely reflected in the shiny water.

The pole and rope in the foreground are standing out sharp and well defined against all this glory, and also clouds with their silver lining are well defined. The exposure is perfect.

The format and framing is perfect, and with the pole off to the left it is a very good balance in the composition. This is indeed a beautiful and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A very nice entry into the competition presented here! Like your photo, like your message. Your fine and classical composition offers us a very enjoyable look at your lovely location. Was it a sunrise or sunset? Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good look!

Steve,
A spectacular sunset picture the sun bursting out from behind the dark clouds floating above the horizon it's golden rays lighting up the underside of the clouds above. All this golden beauty then reflected on the shimmering sea in the foreground. Beautiful God given composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
