Sailing out of the sunset

remask, adjust, glow, simplify & impression.

Very dramatic lighting of the last colors of sunset at the horizon and on the sails! That extended and curved bit of sand adds an almost abstract look to the image. I'm undecided about that strong v-shaped wave coming into foreground. It really catches my eye and I think most of the attention should be on the glowing colors at the horizon. Plus it is not exactly coming from the direction of the sailboats and seems a bit out of line that way.

I love the colours and the flotilla of boats. The sand spit is a nice line to the boats. I find the boats a wee bit cut and pasted, maybe if they had some shadow? In my own work I often add a subtle texture to the entire shot as a way of blending the layers.
