A well seen and captured image, particularly under such difficult light conditions!
As the image is about the "Fleet at Dusk" there is far too much sky.
As it is not that interesting, I recommend that about 3/4 of the sky is cropped off, leaving the emphasis on the sunset, boats and water.
Also a slight crop off the lh side (up to the church) would help readdress the balance

Comment from ClydeLee


This is a picture with great light as the source. Boats and
churches are reflected in the water and and draw the eye to the light on the horizon pierced by a faraway steeple.
I'm a retired minister and the churches caught my attention immediately. This is (or at least was) a highly spiritual community with impressive architecture.
Great photo.

Very, very nice. We not only get a good look at the fleet, but a lovely image of the city skyline against the evening sky. The whole gives off an air of the days work being done, it is time to relax anGood job.

Oh my goodness, the colours and tones in this photograph are just amazing. I love the sky! Wow! The reflection on the water is subtle and there is such a calm and serene feel to this. Fabulous.

This is beautiful. Love the colors. Cloud formation is cool as well.

The image is clear and clean. Framing (panoramic) is smart. It offers viewers wider scene to enjoy.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

an artistic capture of the boats tied up in the harbour, I like the silhouette of the church and building against the dusk sky which has beautiful colours, great pov, I like all the lights and colours reflected in the calm water, a well taken photograph captured at the right time of day. a pleasure to view.
thanks for sharing.

Beautiful capture William. Great time of day to shoot this. The twilight hour offering the last bit of the sun's glow in the sky.
Fabulous focus, nice exposure/white balance control and superb POV.
Nice work :)

Comment from Linda Bickston


I wish I had 6 stars to award you for this masterpiece. Everything about this shot is so beautiful. The focus, with the boats going off to the right of the canvas. The sky, with the hues of lavender, blue, and yellow. The boats perfectly lined up on the glassy water. Fantastic.

Comment from PeglegDeb


hmmmnnn....have tried commenting twice on your photo and been tossed off at the save point. lol...will give it one more try. Obviously, I like your photo very much or I would have given up by now. The colors in the sky are amazing but I was really drawn by how crystal clear the reflections of the boats in the water are....beautiful.
