I like the texture and blend of colours toning into each other here. The scene is nicely constructed and shows sky land and water which picks up the orange and red tones. They all work very well together. The result is quite exciting and a pleasure to view. The scene is balanced and framed well.

Very nice painting. All the colors work well together and I like the like swan detail in the corner, adds a little something. Pretty good work with the water reflection too. You used a lot of different tools to blend which adds a uniqueness to the look of it. As you wrote, you should be proud of this.

It is beautiful! The colors blend nicely together. I like the darker land crossing between the sky and the reflection in the water. I think I even see a little duck in the water. I would love to be able to paint. Oh well.

I always have loved the colors you have chosen for your sunset. You did a really fine job at shadowing things in the water. Good job. Good luck. Laprap

I think it would look even more attractive without that distracting watermark on the uploaded image!

This sunset is excellently drawn. The beautiful colors draw the eyes and attention of the viewer. The contradiction of light and shadows is interesting. How the colors melt into each other is fascinating. The dark silhouettes emphasize the colors remarkably. The drawing is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

A very striking image posted here into the competition. Your fine 50/50 composition offers us an enjoyable view of your developing sunset. Was this done at a location or from imagination? Like the bright, cheerful colours. Well painted!
