Hey they have some pretty darn nice sunsets down there!!! This one is really amazing! Love how close down to the water you got to get all the reflection you could! A fave for sure!
This splendid post proves again that sunset posts are your speciality Elizabeth. Thank you for the link as well. The acoustic music of Anathema is well chosen for this one.
Regards, Cornelius.
I strongly recommend that you submit this to the current blue hour contest Elizabeth. It is post sunset, so it absolutely fits the contest parameters and is drop dead gorgeous.

You have held onto this one since November? Hey, girl, that's no way to be! You got get these goods ones here a lot quicker than that! Sensational - as always!
The line of the towers flow so nicely into the distance , again you have mastered using these items so very well.The clouds are beautiful and nicely detailed and the colors are glorious.The song was profound and struck a chord with me. Fav , Tom
A truly stunning image Elizabeth. The natural color is striking, the composition excellent and even a beautiful reflection and silhouetted dock (?) to boot. A fabulous photograph. We see so many sunsets that it's just hard to get excited about them sometimes but when one like this comes along and you capture it just right, bam! it's magic! Thanks for sharing. anne =D
Critiquing art of any kind is utterly subjective. When I vote on your images, I look at several things. First, my initial gut reaction. Then, is it straight (if it should be); is the color correct or if intentionally saturated or desaturated, was it done properly and does it enhance the image; composition - if you intended a bulls-eye, unless it's an outstanding image that is really served by centering the subject, it'll get dinged; is the horizon dead center - again, unless there's an obvious reason that makes it a better photo, no points; is the subject interesting and uncluttered; is the image sharp; is the depth of field right for this composition, is there a catchlight in the creature's eye; would I hang this on my wall; is it an image I'd be proud to display; is it artistic or just a snapshot; does it move me; is there a message conveyed; is it documentary in nature and if so, does it tell the story in such a way it makes me want more. When I critique a photo in your gallery, I'm only suggesting what my subjective nature prefers. No need to defend your position if you like your image the way it is. If you give me constructive criticism on my pieces, I guarantee you I will take them to heart. I love to improve! Bring it on Caedians! Love, anne =D
