Another from my series of sunset shots from last month - hope people aren't bored with them yet! These conditions are very unusual for Connecticut this time of year.

Another beautiful sunset, Mark - I especially like the strong yet realistic colors!

Nice colors and light. I agree about the exposure, although it might be a bit bright for my personal taste.

This looks very peaceful, but there's also a certain drama to it. It could be a tad darker, bit I like the sense of light as it is. The tones and color in the water are very nice. Good job here, Mark.

Very nice sunset, Mark. I like how natural the area around the sun looks with none of that "nuclear" coloration that I tend to get in my sunset shots. The white sun is spot on too. :toast:

Another beautiful and peaceful image Mark. I do not have much to add on a improvement. It is pretty darn perfect for the style. These images are great with how simple they are, yet they are such a joy to take in.

Mark, I very much enjoy the quiet and peaceful mood of this image. Simple and very effective! The reflection is nice and I like those clouds a lot.
