This is really beautiful! I love the sky, especially the top with the horizontal wavy layers of colors. The reflections on the water and the waves rolling in are amazing! So cool! Well done!

An excellent entry into the contest posted here! Wonder where in the world you captured your glourious sunset seascape? The colours and tones are gorgeous. Exposure and sharpness are spot on. Great photo and good luck!

    Wow. Thanks a lot Nik for your great review. I failed to mention that I took this on the Bay of Bandaras in Puerto Vallarta, MX. Thanks for the reminder. Thank you for your More Than generous rating. Very much appreciated and very encouraging ~ Steve

What a wonderful sunset and fisherman's paradise. I which I was there. Beautiful composition, great sunset colors and details. The wave upfront is interesting and well done.

Huge initial impact!! Just love this photograph! Beautiful colors with a golden glow over the ocean. The sky looks angry compared to the gentle waves lapping the sand.Truly a pice of art. Good luck in the competition.

Dramatic colour :) I like the straight horizon against the angle of the wave. The silhouetted boats add nice interest.
Thoughts: Some 'noise' reduction to smooth it out a little is my only suggestion.

Keep creating :)

    Thank you so very much Ann for your wonderful review and comments. Very much appreciated. This is one that I used the "Painted" filter in Photo Shop to give the sky and the entire scene the look of a painting. I think that may be the noise you are referring to. LOL. Most of my images are pretty 'Noisy' as I like to use the painted look (Mainly because I can't even draw a stick figure so this makes me feel like a Real Classical Master! - don't I wish). You will see more of these painted scenes in my portfolio.

    I very much appreciate your feedback and I will count on you Ann to give an honest review so that I can correct a mistake or improve my iPhone photography. Thank you again Ann ~ Steve

Darkness reveals announcing the coming night, while the last of master's sunlight lingers in the sky and golden reflection lays on the waves. This seascape seems peaceful despite the waves crashing on shore. The sea and the sky are of eternal beauty. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has excellent depth. It is perfect treated with mixed media and expertly composed and framed.

i like this and the grainy and painted effect adds drama to this shot,it also works as a vertical format and that dramatic sky really adds buzz to this..Brian
