a great entry to the Sunset contest; excellent composition with amazing reflection in the water; oversaturated as usual but don't worry, people like it as I can already notice from all 6* you got; lol;

LOL. Thanks Fred. Believe it or not I went back and reduced the saturation to a point that I think it is too bland. I think my eyes must see differently as to me Oversaturation looks natural. So I will have to do what I think looks best and then reduce the saturation from there. Oh well. It is what it is and it is all fun. Thanks Fred for your review ~ Steve

Very striking landscape Steve,great contrast in this and such a vivid sky,i like the dark bit in the bottom of the frame,but slightly feel there is a lot of darkness in the middle,although in saying that it contrasts well with the sky,good entry though...brian

A real beauty, Steve. Wonderful layering of sky, water and landscape. Superb clarity and lighting. The reflection in the water is what takes this up a notch and makes it shine. Great job and post processing. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Steve,
A spectacular sunset picture with both the beauty of the setting sun before us unwinding & then it's perfect image on the lake/ river below whih gives us a completed view of the trees along the bank. The sun's golden rays fanning out from behind the dark clouds on the horizon draw the eye right into the pictures heart. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from GaliaG
nice capture of the colors on the sky and the reflections on the water, but almost 1/3 of the photo is too dark and without any details and this takes from the initial impact
thanks for sharing

Thank you Galia for your thoughts on this image. I think you are right about the center part being too dark. I need to work on that. I appreciate your feedback ~ Steve

Steve This is incredible!
Over the top and out of this world! Your post is truly
spectacular. The beauty in this sunset has everything,
wonderful color, exquisite
reflections, so eye catching
that I could look at it for hours. I am always amazed at the photos you post, even with editing they still show the incredible capture of the photo itself, which cannot be edited. This is one of those scenes. Truly amazing. This is the best and My winner in this contest. Best Wishes or
should I already say congrats! I really love this beauty.

The sky is stunning with it's yellow, orange and purples. The photograph is physically soothing. It is an aesthetically pleasing and clearly focused photograph.
