This was shot 20-25 minutes after the sun had set, while there was still a faint glow of color on the horizon.

Ryan, Beautiful color captured in the water... I like the detail in the lower right rocks but...I browser cropped this out and think that this will strengthen your composition...this is personal preference of course....overall nice surreal mood...

Hi Ryan, Beautiful color and water softness due to long exposure. Agree with Ryan's comment about cropping out the lower right. This would make the image into a pano and strengthen your center of interest...

Hey Ryan, Very nice, you really caught some nice colors. I like it as presented but it certainly would be nice cropped as the others suggested.

[Robert Amoruso]

I agree with those above Ryan. You had two subjects here, the rocks and the pilings. A crop from the bottom gives you a stronger image in pano with a diagonal leading line.

Ryan, Beautiful soft colors and a nice diagonal line. I agree w/ a crop off the bottom. Very nicely done.

Hey Ryan,
Very nice job on this with the long e and sweet colors and lines. I agree with Jerry's recommendation of a pano crop (scroll with browser).....really makes for a strong pano. Very nicely done!
