The shot is just awesome. The framing and colors are great. As others have said the noise is a bit much. I so need to get one of the noise programs myself as I see from Bassbone the huge difference it can make.

Beautiful sunset! I remember when I 'discovered' noise reduction--it can make a huge difference.

Great colours and nicely composed with attractive variety of foregreenery, especially the water plants. bassbone did a nice job with the noise, too.

The blues, purples and reds and the way you have used the shore as a frame for the photo are all excellent. I am just a bit put off by the level of noise in the sky. I tried my hand at a simple noise 'scrub' using Noise Ninja and this is what I got from your photo...

The colors and pattern on the water are lovely. The framing and composition really add the artistic touch! Nice one!

I love your FL sunsets! The noise doesn't bother me too much because my eyes go right to the orange sky. I always think it's hard to get a good setting in low light.

Very nice tranquil scene, lovely colours. I like the framing on the right.

It is a little noisy and as a test as I have no specific noise software myself I installed the noise ninja plug in and the Neat Image plug in and both produced very impressive results on your photo and a quick shot from my camera at 1600 ISO! The Neat Image was a slightly better result in both cases (just using all the default settings) and it is free for non commercial use on images less than 1024*1024.

Beautiful scene and lovely composition. As you said, there is too much noise, but with an image like this, it is so easy to fix that with one of the noise reduction add-ons -- Noiseware, Noise Ninja, Neat Image, etc. You indicated that you used some noise reduction. I'm curious to know which program you used. Oh did I mention the colors are lovely too.
