Amazing Jerry! And technically, you could improve a little on framing the scene. First of all, at the two sides of the picture, there are what it seems like some left-overs of some other objects, You could crop it off. Then, then there is something called..the rule of one-thirds that u cud apply here. ie, the bottom-one third shud have been water, middle ur subject, the trees. And then the top one-third the sky..
also, capture the reflection of the trees fully..dont know if it was psbl in this case.

But technicalities aside, what a wonderful capture this is..the mood of the situation is well-captured. I can almost experience being there! Great work and all the best ahead! Check out, trekearth.com(places) and treknature.com(wild-life/animals) too

Firstly welcome to TL!
Now to the picture - nice warm colours and good silhouettes (which could be a little sharper). Composition is ok, whilst Nithin's comment about the "rule of thirds" is theoretically correct it is not a rule which needs to be followed religiously. You could improve the composition a little by cropping some space from the top of the frame and from the right, which would really focus attention on the trees.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Jerry,
Nice sunset, i like the line of the palms and the birds in the sky but you had a greater picture with the reflection of the trees in the water ? No ? And why didn't you cut a few the right side ?
Regards
Pascal

Bonjour Jerry
Belle entrée sur le site.
Je suis toujours intéressée par les couchers de soleil car la nature nous offre toujours des nuances uniques.
Très belle atmosphère avec ce vol d'oiseaux.
Je te propose un ws...
Bonne journée et bienvenue sur TL !

Hi Jerry, good view and colours. You could cut a bit on the right and give a regulation for the horizon. Compliments, Adele

Two different people with a similar taste. I saw a similar picture shot by two different individuals and at two different places. But both of them are colourful and nice. Check this out. TFS
