A beautiful sunset shot presented here! Your classic composition show the boat and the tree complementing each other. The photo is well exposed and benefits from good natural colours. I do feel though that the horizon needs a little straightening? Well done!

thanks a lot;
concerning the horizon: bring it at the top or bottom of the screen: not the slightest tilt

Comment from Bruce Heming
This is a beautiful photograph with the golden colours of the sunset creating a glow off the ocean. I think the photograph would have been a little nicer had the shrubbery on the right been in sharper focus perhaps by using a smaller lens opening

Good point

Yet another eye arresting capture supergold. The composition and framing are spot on. The sunset is extraordinary. Unfortunately there is nothing that I can say about this fabulous work that you don't already know or undoubtedly has been posted before. I have learned much from you through observation. thank you so much.

thanks a lot Stephen for your lovely comments

Comment from Sumserfield
I like how this picture is balanced out with a bit of branches. It's good that they're out of focus because it puts the viewer in the into the photo.

I only wish the sail was up on the boat, but that's not something you have a say in.

Good job!

This is a wonderful relaxing image, Very good colors and the boat adds depth and textures to the image, Like the colors in the sky that you have captured here. Thank you for sharing. dale

A nicely composed shot with the branches at the right giving you great balance. The light in the sky is fantastic and the rigging on the boat is very sharp.

Comment from suffolkbrian
real nice sunset this,nature if caught right at being at the right place at the right time can be magical,think the slight inclusion of the bush balances this up with the boat,nice one ...brian
