Another good one GBRx3. I like the three comparisons of the same sunset. The lavender overtones in this one are truly good. They make the reflections, especially of the naked trees, jump off the water. Nothing bad to say here my friend.
Both images of this scene are splendid - so smooth and full of colour, the earlier one seems colder and although this is an icy scene the sunset colour warms it.
The soft pinkish lavender tones in this image give the scene such a warmer glow, it still feels sort of cool-ish to me... but with a warm spring glow to it. The ripples on the pond's surface seem a bit more intense because of the warmer tones... a much nicer picture because of the different color shades.... I like it lots !
Sounds like you had a good day.
