    Wonderful light, the only thought I have is you might want to consider a different crop. More like 2/1 or 3/1 to move the sunset line from the center.

    Yes I would agree with that Sam. I never gave it a thought at the time but will the next time.

    Bob,

    Please note it is much easier for we the viewer to see these things because we haven't been looking at it over and over. We have an immediate first impression of your final version.

    Very nice, the colors are wonderful. If I were to pick at something (which I usually do), I'd almost think I'd take out the little white fence posts. For me at least they aren't part of the image enough to keep them, and instead they almost look like little artifacts in the image.

    The other little thing, I think is just the amount that maybe this image has been compressed in the jpg form. With colors like these, I'd love to see the smooth gradient of the sky, but on my monitor I can clearly see the...I don't know what its technically called...but the not smoothness?

    Again thats just looking hard for little thing to pick on, its a fantastic image!

    Thanks Sam and Helvegr for your comments. These are the comments I love to read as it is the little things that are so important when taking the next shot.
    Very much appreciated.
