Todd,

Great sunset/rise sky! I can see just that sky as an image all by itself. But I really like the color combo here. The water almost takes up too much space in terms of balance in the composition, but I couldn't pull myself to getting rid of that lovely turquoise color - makes for a wonderful compliment to the oranges in the sky.

Perhaps a little dark overall as it's hard to pick up any detail in the grasses. But then again, this image is not about the grasses... nicely captured.

I hope you figured out your posting issues. This looks good to me.

Beautiful. I would probably crop off more of the water on the bottom, but I could be completely wrong.

Thanks for your comments Lon and Barbara. Believe me, I thought about lopping of some of the turquoise at the bottom, but when I seem to get a "tranquil entrance" to the image via this smooth turquoise door (contrast to the more rippled, orange infused glow above).
