Only one suggestion... This would be an instant perfect score if the horizon were level. The colors are beautiful. The cropping is great. I like that the glow from the sun on the water isn't perfectly centered.

Thanks for your comments and i appreciate your tip on the horizon level - being new to all this it wasnt even something that i had thought about - but will in the future - thanks again

Beautiful and breathtaking, this image would make a great poster or backdrop for some inspirational/motivational poetry. I like how the overall colors are monochromatic. This makes for a very dramatic picture. Nice job!

Thank you Lizzie - I was so pleased when the colours turned out just as i could see them - Evening skies can be so beautiful dont you think?

Love the texture of the clouds , and then love the rays running to the sea, and then love the sea! Yes, it is a very pleasing snap and gorgeous colours. Best wishes.

Comment from JATH
This is an excellet sunset shot but the colors left me a bit cold. Perhaps changing the tint on it could bring it a little more life.

Beautiful - I love this picture. The rays of the sun are wonderful and give a nice sheen to the water. Well centred as well. I also like the 'purple' coloring.

Comment from jmaddy
like the contrast. Don't like the dot on horizon. it fraws eyes to it. If it is a boat and your point you should have waited until it got a little closer. But still very good.

Thank you for your comments and advice

Comment from Laurie Jo
I totally love this-it gives me such a sense of peace and hope. Your centering and lighting are incredible-especially the sun's rays-great title too. This would make a beautiful focus piece in a meditation room if it was enlarged to say 36x36. Add some Steve Helpern, Yani, or David Wright (just to name a few) music to this and I'd sit in the room all day! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Good colors, I love this kind of scenes. Good exposure, you have good details in light and shadows. If you see the frame carefully, you can see the horizon is no good, and it is very important to keep horizontal. You can fix it in Photo shop but is important pay attention on this details when take the picture.
