First submission with the new toy. The sky really looked like this. Would have been better at "Burst of Color", but the timing was wrong.

I like the warm colors and tones you have going on in this shot. I also like the mist coming off the water. Only a few things are catching my eye as small issues, your horizon seems a bit heavy on the right side and the sky in the upper left seems a bit blown out. Still a wonderful photo.

The whole image feels like it's leaning heavily to the right.

How lucky are we to see such beautiful sunsets like this, even if it is only a photo, I don't mind one little bit.....

the color almost looks faked here unfortunately. i'm sure it's real, but i'll bet there are much more interesting ways you could have used it as a backdrop for a different shot.

I like the mist coming off the water, and the sky is nicely exposed.

great colors, good tonal range
compositionally weak, however-
the lines in this image are all horizontal, with nothing to keep the eye in the frame.
work on controlling your lines

You might try straightening the horizon some - seems to tip down towards the right. The colors are nice - I especially like their reflection in the water.

Wow. The colors are fantastic. Nice backyard there! Hope this hasn't been photoshopped to change the colors, but I'll assume they haven't. Overall, would have wished for a slightly, darker, stronger blue for the rest of the sky but this is a nice image you've made. The houses detract a little, but there you go! 6/10
