so beautiful, its mesmerizing!

absolutely stunning !!

Good work

Here’s what i mean…i don’;t use PP (well i do, cropping – though i now do this in camera) but for me, this is a natural looking image…the colours are all balanced and don’t really overpower the subject…tones are good. Now if i had used cokins on this shot, probably tobacco and emerald, that sky would be bronze and awkward looking:) By the way, good shot mateLOL!!!!

That is such a compliment coming from someone of your skill level. Really appreciated.

The most incredible sunset image EVER!!!! Extremely beautiful work steve. I want to be here!!!! : ))

This is amazing Steve! I have to FEATURE this in Light & Reflection. Congratulations!
