The six is because it was taken with a smartphone and came out beautifully. Great colors and focus.
I love the presentation. So well balanced.
Soft and . Adventure at its best. A great contest entry. Best of luck.

Hi, yes a smartphone! I have a Nikon D300 but can achieve a lot of satisfaction with the phone ... iphone7 gave me some hints about focusing away from the scene to get a light perspective then going to the take. I have experimented using filters like sunglasses suggested by Alasjapat. Also the phone has a menu and I have a choice there too. Thank you so much for reviewing and that lovely 6 ..

What a beautiful scene with the fishing boat captured in a nice silhouette. It would be fun to paint.
Purple and orange sunsets are my favorites!
Love it! It's amazing how good our phones can capture photos, eh?

Beautiful photograph of this sunset. I like the colors of the sky reflecting on the water. Good focus and lighting. Sharp detail. Well composed. Nicely done. Good luck in the photo contest.

This is an interesting photo. The sunset glow and its reflections on the white clouds are remarkable, especially beneath the blue sky. Its mirrored colors on the water are impressive. The silhouette of the fishing boat emphasizes the sunset colors attractively. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. The boat is well placed within the frame. The seascape is well composed. The composition is balanced.
