This is a lovely photo of a spectacularly beautiful spot. I really like the rays created by the clouds and the reflection of orange and yellow on the water.

hi iPhone 7 wow. what a fabulous sunset of the lake. thanks for sharing your notes to accompany the photo. most informative and very interesting about the bird life that call this lake home .. The sunset is stunning. I love the rays of light that beam out across the sky, and give the photo a great sense of depth of field. The inclusion of the silhouetted tree on the right is most pleasing to the eye and offers a nice touch to your scene . Excellent focus and the lighting is spot on. Love the golden glow that sinks into the bank of foliage and spreads its awesome reflection across the shimmering lake. The blackish clouds contrast perfectly in the night sky and really give further appeal to that orange spread of beauty . The ripples on the water's surface add a different sense of texture to the scene and give a feeling of movement .. The photo is perfectly balanced and I like the angle used to capture the view.. The dark foliage is a wonderful contrast between the sky and the water and compliments the darkened clouds also. A beautiful sunset with much eye appeal a true pleasure to review . thanks for sharing. cheers mel

What a nice sunset.
Generally speaking taking sunsets could be very tricky. There is a bit of sun at the horizon and some clouds in the sky. The picture need to have an extra value. Some interesting people, animals or plants.
And this one has it.
Beautiful straps of light on the sky and fine reflections on the water. The colours are just right to express such an magical atmosphere.

    Thank you so much Andrej. I agree with you. Sunsets are easy to take and be ordinary. It is the foreground, side framing or something to add that makes the wonder of the sunset eye catching. I am impressed with your insight in this review. You have an artistic eye. I truly appreciate your review and comments ~ Steve
Comment from bpellephoto


The suns rays really set the mood here - well done.

The colors are bright, bold and harmonious as a sunset should be.

The color and contrast set an evening mood.

This piece is artistically pleasing and technically excellent.

The water reflects the colors of the sunset, but because of the ripples on the surface a mirror like effect is lost.

Fine photography on display here ... B-)) Bob

Steve, this is a gorgeous shot. Sorry I don't have a 6 left to give because it deserves one. The sky is just so amazing with it's rich oranges and purples. The placement of the horizon line is perfect. Nice work.
