This is my first post on Treklens.

While on vacation this year at Key Largo Florida, the sun had already set, but the reflection bounced from the clouds to the water, it was very cool. I love the water reflections, I hope you enjoy as well.

Hi Greg and welcome to TrekLens. Florida does present some beautiful photography opportunities and I look forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing,

Glen

Nice shot Greg and welcome, I love the blue and gold colours on the sea and in the sky. the boat adds a nice touch too and is well placed in your framing.

I did notice that the horizon was slightly off level and have done a workshop for you just to level it. Hope you don't mind

Regards

John

Hey Greg...welcome to TL. This is a lovely shot & I liked the blue n yellow colours. I think that the horizon could be a bit more straighter...else it gives a feeling of water flowing of from the right side of the pic. Guess, Orbiter has worked that out for you.

Cheers,
Arun.

tres beau sunset !
bon contraste et lumiere!

Hi Greg

I like the warm cold opposition between the deep blue sky & golden colors of the sunset. The horizon could be levelled, but sharpness, color, lighting, & saturation, are all superb. Well done!

I LOVE this... the colors set a very calming mood.. something i wouldnt mind having blown up and framed up in my house somewhere. And the single boat out on the water really makes it so much better.. it gives it a little spice and a nice sillohoutte. Great catch!

Hi gtinatl!
This shot is really a must! The colours of the sky and the sea are fantastic. the composition with the boat also follow to increase the composition. Well done.

Great shot Greg! I love the understatement of this sunset. The line of the net and the horizon and boat work well together.

Well done!
Tim.

Hi Greg,
This is a very nice photo. I like the dreamy, far away look that you captured. Well done.
Sunil

Magnifique coucher de soleil !

J'ai effectué quelques retouches pour optimiser la composition.

Hi. thanks for looking and liking my purple sun. I just love the sun and I looked at all yours but this one is the best. The colours are just great and the reflection stunning. Everything is so smooth, the water clouds.
Stunning

A beautiful picture Greg, I love it. With the yacht in it, it gives more life. Colors area amazing.
Best regards
Guy

I love the yellow and blue contrasts, especially in the water. As you know from my gallery, I love this kind of photo!

I think this is my favorite sunset you submitted. I can't get over the yellows and blues on the picture. Remarkable, I've never seen a sunset like it in person!

Greg,
Nice shot. I agree with leveling this one, though. The rule of thirds may apply in most cases, but this is one where there is enough interest in the water and the sky to show them both.
Keep shooting,
Aaron

Excellent composition, great DOF.

Hi Greg,
The clouds and water reflection in this picture are very beautiful.
Antony

Greg great shot.

Hello Greg,
Beautiful reflection, peaceful scene and an awesome shot.
TFS,

Hi Greg !
Excellent colors and light! The black line in the horizon (shoreline? reef?) give an excellent contrast! Very good work!
All the best,

Well done. Beautiful colors.

Just having a look back to this first posting of yours, Greg.
A tranquil scene with lovely colours, and a very nice one to start off with.
The workshop look good, but I'm rather hesitant to complain about horizons these days because sometimes it's the natural curve of a bay and should be left that way. Not sure in this case.
See you soon in Sydney!
Andrew.

Went back to your first post and this one is a gem! Great colors and refelction!
