    Beautiful color of the water, nice silhouette. I wonder how a vertical would look/work? Thank you for sharing, Colin.

    Love the color and texture of the water. This silhouette is very nice.

    Hi Colin. Yes...the colours on the water make this one for me. Happy new year from Brisbane!

    Very pretty. I really like the colors and patterns in the water. This has all the elements of a top notch shot for me.

    Beautiful colors. I also wonder about a vertical, but it might loose too much of the color on the water.

    I like the composition as is, but I would not be opposed to seeing a version with the water a touch brighter overall. You did really well!

    Thanks for the comments. The crop is quite small so not enough room for vertical, I would have needed to shoot vertical which didn't occur to me as I was concentrating on the exposure to best bring the colors out while making sure it was a true silhouette. Here's one slightly brighter Dan, brightness +15 contrast +25.
