Well, I don't know about all the other photographers - I doubt very much that they got a better shot than this one. This is awesome.!!

Thankyou for such a lovely review very inspiring :)

Comment from JIRINA
Great capture of the setting sun with marvelous colours and great composition. Good clarity in the clouds and water. I think this is the perfect shot, little off centre makes it look very dramatic.

Comment from Sange
I think you did a fine job Mary! Love the clarity, POV, Exposure and fine silhouette details in the sculpture.
A wee more negative space was needed up top, but a fine shot despite my wishes.

Thanks Sange, I agree with your comments regarding negative space :) Mary

Comment from ChuckWaxman
I think your shot is just "perfect". The sun is a little off center - but doesn't destroy the overall beauty of the shot. The framing, focus and DOF are wonderful. I'd say its a keeper. Thanks for sharing. Day is done, gone the sun!

Thanks so much your positive comments are appreciated, as it was still 38C at time of taking we were glad to see sun go down also :) Mary

Thanks Doris, made of metal positioned perfectly for the final sinking of the sun into the ocean but with so many behind me impossible. :) Mary

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
A very interesting perspective of the sunset through an arch window - beautiful silhouette, nice capture

perfect composition, beautiful frame - good focus, good contrast and lighting ,

You have chosen a great momentum with the sun touching the horizon to go down letting a super horizontal lighting on the clouds - a nice perspective with a great DOF , well done

Love the silhouette of the sculpture with the sunset poking through. Sky colouring catches the eye and the ocean b/g shines. Good detail and lighting for a night photo Well done

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Well, this is is good enough with the sun in the center frame.
I think this is one concrete example wherein the framing should be centered.
Just be careful of the sloping horizon to the right...
Nice silhouette shot...
Interesting initial impact.
Thanks for sharing...
