[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After working straight through the weekend to get my 2009 calendars done, I finally finished and was eager to leave the house for some fresh air and camera time. I walked down to a nearby waterfront area in time to see many kinds of water birds feeding along the shore, the delights of a quiet end to the day, and boats at rest in the cove. There are moments like this that I appreciate what I can't see as much as what I can...the shadows and silhouettes that suggest an assortment of details now retiring for the evening.

PP: standard RAW adjustments, lab color adjustments for richer sunset tones, added border, jpegged, resized, sharpened.

A beautiful scene, beautifully captured. The fine lines of the masts puncture the soft texture of the sky and water. The tiny points of light on the boats add interest.

Oh man, this is AWESOME Karen! Nice sharpness, vibrant color, super sharp! This is one of those "throw the thirds out the window" shots. The sky is as interesting as the water and so they both get equal time. Excellent symmetrical feel to this! Nice job!

Hello Karen,
Wonderful photo very well composed (all those vertical black lines against the sky gives a great effect), with a great warm light and superb vivid colours. Wonderful and a great moody work.
Congrats, mb

Hi Karen
this is a lovely sunset,nicely composed with a wonderful refection of the red sky in the water.I like being able to see the boats in the waning light without being a silhouette... well done .. thanks my friend....Roman:0)

A gorgeous composition Karen with splendid golden tones.
The minimal black frame really unifies the whole thing.
Great balance from left to right too.
Really well done here.
- Vincent

you've outdone yourself here, dear Karen.This could even be a commercial success!
(I am glad i taught you how to use RAW, it did pay off. Now you are better than me.)L> Janos

Hello Karen the golden glow from the sunset is very appealing.In fact, the colour is more intense in the reflection, I have just noticed.
I like the uneven lines of masts and bg trees through the centre of the shot.
The narrow black frame works really well.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hello Karen.
Wow very nice , beautyfull and strong.
