Looks grainy. These kinds of shot at dusk with ocean and dark sky need NeatImage in most cases. I would have tweaked the color balance to add a little green also.

I think it's a bit dark overall, and I would have cropped the post off on the right, but other than that it's a nice composition with a nice burst of colour in the clouds.

Nice colors, interesting silouttes. Good job!

I know you wanted to keep as much as that beautiful sky as possible, but IMHO I would have cropped out the frame on the right and a little more off the bottom. BOL

I like the way tree and bench frame the picture. The line of sale boats draw your eye into the picture towards the bright cloud. I would crop out the edge of the building at right - I feel like it stops me short just as the rest of the picture lifted me up into my imagination.

The tree and bench frame the picture nicely. A tad dark overall, but the color of the water is lovely.

I would have loved to see more of that gorgeous sunset!

Looks a little too dark to me. I like the composition of the bench and tree to the left, but the pole alng the right is distracting - might have cropped that out. Nice colors. The sharp blue water gives nice contrast to the shaded areas.

It is not clear what the viewer should focus on here...is it the sunset/sunrise ? the water ? the bench ? the odd frame on the right side of the picture ? nothing in this picture seems to be in focus, no element of the composition seems to be the main point of interest. Sorry, just the way I see it (or don't) (4)

Really nice composition here. There's great (yet subtle) framing, and it's well balanced. The fact that it's not a "spectacular" sunset shot with the whole sky lit up intensifies the mood to this photo. It makes me wish that I was there on the bench watching everything. Nice job.

goodness, what an image. it portends nothing of what came next. this is almost weirder than seeing photos of the WTC
