sunset on the gulf

I'm grasping at straws! trying to get back into taking some decent shots and just can't seem to find it... what ever "it" is.. I'm not displeased with this sunset (yes another sunset) but not thrilled with it either. Comments and critiques appreciated.

Hi

I like it a lot. The sun light effect behind the clouds is super .
Also the horizon line silhouette in contrast with the orange makes a great composition.

I think it looks good. I might crop most of the water out so that the land is right near the lower portion of the photo.

Great sky and Sun Rays. +1 for a crop I think I would crop the foreground water to about where the reflection starts to hit the water. Very nice image

Hey thanks everyone, great feedback. I've cropped it as suggested and I think it looks better.

With the palms being a main subject in this, I would have also cropped alot of the sky down to just over the top of the cloud bank, even w/ the rays coming through the tops....almost similar to a pano-type image. Please, if I may, give it a slight try and will remove immediately if that is your wish.

Great shot, Lynnma. I think both crops work, so you're call on that. (Suffice to say I don't agree with Idlewild's crop.)

Cheers,
