Fantastic capture - I love the warm ambiance - you cached the perfect time for these soft and pastel color range in old pink and orange hues - a very harmonious composition, excellent frame choice with the close and far sea shore

super contrast and lighting , and for sure a nice contest entry, all the best of luck

Always welcome Paula

Comment from Linda Bickston
Your capture of this heavenly sunset is just that, heavenly. The face of God shining across the sky. With the patches of clouds floating in the golden hues of evening. This is amazing.

I really very much appreciate your review and score, but most of all is that you enjoyed it!! Paula

Comment from Paul G.
OK, Paula. Where is it? I do plan on a trip to Ithaca to get some frozen waterfalls in February. I know it is nowhere near there. This is beautiful. I have tried my camera HDR and didn't like the results. But this is very nice. Good color and long DOF. Well done.

This is in Hampton Bays, on the Peconic Bay. If you want I will send you the location on Google maps in case you have the opportunity to go out to Long Island. Thanks so much Paula

Sure. We never know where our adventures will lead.

Love the colours and tonal ranges in this image but to give it a better composition and added impact I would have cropped the bottom to just below the trees on the left 1) it lowers the horizon and 2) the bottom part adds very little to the image

I love the beautiful colors in this lovely sunset. The way you have captured the light shimmering on the water is lovely. Beautiful framing and focus. Nice composition and detail in the clouds. Thanks for sharing.

Simply lovely and calming! Great depth in the shot all the way to the back, and swear even beyond! I like the composition, that bend in the water makes for a nice leading line for my eye to travel. Nice play of light across the water as well. this would make a great mural!

Love all the purple in this photo. The sunset is great, the darkness makes everything look a different colour then what we see during the day. Great focal point is the far away shore. the placement of it is perfect that it breaks the sky and the water

Congratulations!
Your artwork deserves a 5 star rating!
Better if you include the glowing sun before it totally sank in the horizon...
Great job!

That would triple the initial impact, my friend...

Comment from suzannethompson2
This is beautiful, Paula. Love the colours you captured in the sky with the setting sun casting its orange glow amongst the purple clouds, reflecting in the water. I like the angle you used for this. Excellent lighting and focus. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne
