Yes, they are. As if perfectly placed to frame the fading light. Warm golden summer tones. A pleasure.

Nicely done on the technical considerations, Tom.

Add in the creative, as well, as noted above by Elizabeth on the compositional front.


Caveats?

Can't shake the idea that a slight crop off of the top down to the main cloud formations might provide an assist of sorts.

/\ This mentioned to move the horizon some more off of the midline point.


Mind you, and with that said ... not sure if you used a gradient, or whatever additional post work/sweetening/editing ... I do enjoy the ... kind of, sort of ... 'vignetting' (top and bottom darker areas) that focusses the viewer's eyes quite well on the prize of your image here.


That nonsense of mind aside, nicely done. The foreground grasses are a very nice compostional and visual interest touch, too.


Thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

Beautiful sunset and your right about the clouds. :o)

You could crop of a bit of the blue to get a better balance in your picture than it already has, but it's not necessarily needed.

I like it this way too.

I agree, those clouds are fabulous, Tom. I like the way it looks as if the wind is ruffling the surface of the water.

Good soft colors and reflections in this sunset. The shadows add alot to it as well. A very relaxing post.

Tom - A beautiful sunset - great colors, with the clouds providing the shift from golds to blues, and reflections on the water. Kudos! Thad

Thank you all for the nice comments...Les , your point is well taken.I did have probably 6 edits , as usual , and just didn`t feel that the one with the sky cropped worked.I would have had to re sample allot to get the edit I wanted due to the wide screen format.

Hello Tom....You caertainly have captured a moment in time with this one....The warm colours of the sunset against the cool blue really compliment each other and I like the way you have kept the horizon just below the halfway of the frame....Well done....All the best to you Tom.........................Mick.
