would this picture be better ifi cropped it and brightened the sunset???? ++ how do you 'download' a picture? what's the difference between viewing and downloading?

This is a good try, but you see it to clearly that you've used some software to make changes to this image, and it is not so well done (you see to much different spots of red and blue and green in the wooden structure). But the idea was good and it was still a good try!

Its a lovely scene.. i wouldnt crop it as the foreground gives it some depth.. however.. i think that you brightened the sunset just a little too much, to me it's a little too bright.. I would love to see the original pic as it is a beautiful scene... plus members will be able to advise you and give you tips on how to adjust the image..

The difference between viewing and downloading..
Viewing is when someone clicks on the pic and looks at in full view..
Downloading is when someone "saves it" to their computer

This is a very nice pricture, however the way the sun glares washes out a lot of color

Very nice, foreground could be different, but over all, nice picture.
