This is nice Brian. I dont know what you combined but it worked. The colors in the sunset are beautiful. It is an unusual sunset setting and coloration. The smoothness of the photo overall considering the low light shooting conditions is commendable. I find it curious about the way that sailboat has been left there. Nice work, Brian.

Awsome scene, but a bit overexposed for my taste. Well saturated colors and light reflections contrasting with the dark island and the sail boat make it very dramatic. I bet it must have been great pleasure to watch the sunset...Sun glasses necessary, lol.

Great, great shot. Love the saturated colors and the brightness of it, and the composition of course. I also like that the focus is more on the boat, giving some tangibility to the boat in the face of the massiveness of the sun. That the sun is offset it also a very good move - had it been in the center, the other objects (the boat and the structure) would have seemed incidental, like they were just "in the shot" of the sunrise, but as you have it, it seems like all three "are the shot". Well done.
