Comment from Dick Lee Shia


We had a similar sunset last New Year's Day but I forgot to capture as I was busy bathing the dogs...

A dramatic skyline sending rays as if to bless the ocean as you cruise on that ship...

Thick cumulonimbus clouds stand out in this seascape.
Subtle lighting...
Great framing.
Pin sharp focusing.

A lovely contest entry! I love how the golden sunrise is framed between the dark clouds and the dark water.Nice capture of the sunlight streaming down illuminating the two smaller clouds below. Very well seen and taken,i wish you all the best!

The light managing to create such a beautiful halo with the storm clouds above is excellent Chris. Hope you are surviving the heatwaves and smoke. Well composed, good luck in contest.

A very good nautical sunset presented here! It makes me wonder though where in the world you took it? Like the contrasts between lights and darks. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

A very nice shot that captures the shimmering rays of the afternoon sun. The light in the clouds is fantastic and the colors could not be nicer. Best of luck in the contest.

Cool,Chris!
It's a very attractive Sky Scape type of a picture with an under-stated ( but undeniable ) 'Dramatic' tone to it!
A really 'Good Show',my friend!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! : )

Such a beautiful evening. It looks like there are three layers of clouds. The colors a bright and beautiful. The sun being behind the clouds allows the rays to be shown off to perfection. I love God's beauty as you have captured it here.

    Yes I loved the layers of clouds...almost looks angelic and definitely one of God's marvellous art works, Chris.

This is awesome! I like the dark clouds and the sunlight underneath sending rays downward. Pretty warm gold tones behind the charcoal colored clouds.
Well focused, clear image with good light management. Colors appear natural. Well composed and presented!

Chris,
A beautiful & atmospheric picture looking out across the sea to the distant horizon above the sun's golden sunbeams are bursting through the grey clouds above colouring the sky gold it's rays fanning out from the clouds. Artistic dramatic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan
