Look at this now ! Beautiful dramatic shot of the sky and sea ! My eyes go to the sky first because of the saturation . Your frame is really good. People's eyes are not very much trained to see landscape in portrait frame, but this one I guess it works fine.

This image is a dream!! The colours are stunning. The softness of the water makes it very peaceful. The clouds and the setting sun are so beautiful. Great composition with the rocks in the foreground. Beautiful reflections. Thanks for sharing

Hi Steve!
That's a very attractive Beach and Sky Scape photograph,my friend!
It's superbly colorful and I really like the nice 'Dreamy' kind of tone that it gives off!

This sunset is breathtaking. The sky seems burning. It looks like golden embers at the horizon. Above seem acing fire and dark smoke. The sky colors and their reflections are extraordinary. The white foaming waves splashing onto the stones are impressive. Your photo has impressive depth and is perfect focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. The tall format is efficient. The seascape is perfect composed. The diagonal presentation of the surf pleases the equilibrium of the viewers.

Stunning night skyline Steve the layers of color within the clouds is awesome. Nicely composed seascape with the rocks in foreground and the light reflecting on ocean. Good luck in contest. We are just off tomorrow to stay on York Peninsular for 3 nights and I am hoping to get some sunset shots - last nights sky was spectacular color but have too many buildings where I live to capture the beauty. :) Mary

This is skilled photography of a stunning scene. The sky so vibrant with its reds and oranges, not to mention the yellows is truly stunning. Like the blues in the upper corner too. Best wishes in the contest.

Absolutely gorgeous sunset with all the colors and it's reflections on the water, beach and in the sky. The rock and crashing waves upfront are adding to this dramatic presentation.
Great diagonal presentation and overall so pleasing to view.

A very nicely composed shot. The rocks in the foreground and the waves breaking over them are great and the saturated colors are certainly eye catching. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from avmurray


A truly fantastic sunset, and you have pictured it so well. I especially like the dramatic looking sky, and also the foreground with the small crashing waves around the rocks. It is also lovely the way the colors from the sky are reflected in the water.

The photo is pin sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in the foreground. The exposure is spot on.

The format and framing is perfect, and I also like a lot your vantage point. With the setting sun off to the left, it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a truly beautiful and well taken photo Steve, and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.
