Hey Dave,
You did a nice job composing this. I like where you placed the sun in the frame and the land silhouette is also placed well. I may try darkening the brighter water in the frame but just for yourself for some comparison. I also recommend you try either chnging the WB to shade or cloudy......this alone will add more color to the sky and as it is the main component add a bit of drama to the entire image. I think you have enough depth in there to carry this scene.....just a bit more color pop will really make a difference. All in all nicely composed and simple.

Very nice Dave, I might just take a bit off the top. Lovely colours and I like the dark band of trees.

[Robert Amoruso]

Good composition Dave and agree with Roman's suggestions. I like the addition of the bird.

Thanks for looking and commenting Jackie and Robert.
Roman I had shot in auto wb and had left it alone in the conversion. In pp'n I had even run the file through a blue filter to try and get rid of the yellows and enhance the bits of red. It is hard to try and remember what I saw and then try and dulicate it.
I have tried your suggestion about wb on another late evening shot and it really comes out golden. Thks.

Dave, I think this is really,really nice. I like it as it's presented and I wouldn't change a thing. The crescent shaped sun and the birds really add to the scene. The colors are great.

Thanks Denise. It is hard to know what to do about colours. You think take a picture to remember the colours and then..... Dave
