Een prima sfeertje Hans,eigenlijk had je iets eerder moeten klikken zodat de vrouw in het lichte gedeelte net voor de rots had gelopen,ze was dan beter te zien geweest
.
Maar ala ik vind het een leuke foto Hans.

Dag Hans,
Original sunset ! The dark rocks are very impressive, in contrast with the bright colours of the sky. The people and the dog give a peacefull presence in your composition.
Best regards

Outstanding shot of Piha Hans, the colours of the sunset look very bold and striking. The reflection off the sand looks great too, you were lucky not to get any footprints on it. Well seen.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Hans,
A very appealing sunset shot with such vivid colors. Nice layers of contrast.
Great reflection with the silhouetted rock dominating.
Fabulous gold cast emerging from the glowing sun.
A fantastic capture well interpreted in a nice neat white margin.
Good job.
Best regards,

Hello Hans

Very nice sunset shot with beautiful colors and reflections.
I think it has to be better without the women and her dog.

Hans,

This is a stunning sunset. I can only imagine the beauty of being in this setting hearing the ocean too. The dog is a nice addition to the photo, I like how the details of the woman are so that we can still see her entire silhouette. Great one Hans! :) Lisa

P.S. Was the sky actually this color? It's magnificent!

Fiery colours in that sky and a beautiful balance of sunset and its reflection on the wet sand. I especially like the way the sea creates a band of diffuse light between the strong dnamics above and below.

Hi Hans,
Painting with light indeed. Wonderful capture of the colours
If this is not a moody shot,then I don't know what is.Really like those silhouettes,esp' the dog with it's stick.

Hello Hans.This is a real nice painting! The colors are so beautiful.I find your composition quite interesting and unusual with the mountain falling in the third vertical ( as per the reflection in the water).The dog,the lady and the 3 other people on the right side complete it very well.TFS

Hallo Hans,

Een prachtige zonsondergang, heel mooie kleuren en mooie silhouetten. De vrouw had er misschien niet moeten zijn maar verder een prima compositie.
Groetjes, Marga

hi hans a pretty scene for sure but it actually seems a little fuzzy to me? also the woman and dog placed to the right of the scene would better for my eye i think too, however it is a nice moment captured,

Hi Hans,
Ahhh fantastic color tones/shadows and overall clarity are superb! Love the dog in the photo, does he have a stick in his mouth? The bg rock is quite impressive. Nicely composed my friend. TFS Julie

Ok ...tough critique...dont come after me! OK I know the water is in motion, so you can't take a longer exposure. BUT...you can up your ISO to 200 or 400 and THEN you can up your Fstop to F7.1 and go with that and still maintain a good exposure, but it will be sharper. F4 is too soft or not enough details! But the colors are stunning and I wish I was there!
I'm now crawling under my desk to wait for you!

Dat ziet er mooi uit. Het water zier er bewerkt uit, lijkt lichter te zijn gemaakt en dan ietsjes kleur erbij. Maar mooie kleuren en dromerige sfeer.

Groetjes,
Pedro
