Very nice shot you have captured here. The blue sky with the reflections of the sunset in the water offers a spectacular view for viewers. The calming ripples in the water makes this look like a peaceful and relaxing place to vacation. Kayaking must of been fun. I've done it before but without much success.

nice angle of shot and composition, but the colors and contrast are too saturated and this takes form the initial impact

good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing

This does look a relaxing place. I think the rich color saturation looks good and enhances the sunset nicely. I like the kayak and paddle in the foreground too.

Hi Kristi, this is a peaceful and beautiful scene, I love sunsets with clouds, the sky shows the thick texture of the clouds that have gathered above the water, I like the deep blue tones with just bits of lighter tones in the sky and the reflection on the rippled water, nice Point was f view with a well placed horizon line, the warm gold from the setting sun stretches across the horizon and reflects on the water. The trees give depth and add texture to this scene, I like the kayak on the shore. This is well focused, the image is clear, lighting is managed well and the colors are beautiful . Well composed and presented!

A beautiful scene that is well composed. I like the way you waited until the sun was below the horizon and the light reflected so well off the water. A great entry for this contest, best of luck.

Awe mine too! what a nice sunset. That sky with all those clouds makes this look directly at the yellow sky, great perspective, love the kayak waiting.
