After sunset on wilderness canoe/kayak camping trip last October, shot from the tent site after we returned from a day of paddling. It's easy to process scenes like this too bright. I tried to preserve the memory of the post-sunset glow without making the shadows areas look like daylight. It looks MUCH better in the large view, with the darker background. (I posted another view from here in the Photo Art Gallery HERE.)

Lovely composition. Good job in preserving the sunset colors. As I like shots with canoes, I could see this with a tight crop around the boats.

Great shot capturing the 20 minutes or so of “blue light”. I like it a lot . Especially like the reflection of the moon in the water. If you had more space ,you might move your crop down just a bit on the bottom so the boats aren’t so close to the edge, but that’s a minor thing in the scheme of this fine photo.

This looks great, Wayne. It definitely needs to be viewed large. It is a very tranquil scene that tells a great story.

I like everything about this! The boats in the corner add just the right touch of strong color while giving you the idea that they are just waiting for you to step into the photo and take a ride. Well done!

Beautiful, image, Wayne. I like the tranquility conveyed by the calm water and blue light. Really well composed, too, and the moon is a nice bonus.

Oh, this is filled with emotion. Really makes me want to be there experiencing the moment. Absolutely lovely, Wayne. There appears to have been a little dodging or something right around the moon, but I can't be sure on this crappy work monitor. Great work.

Everything about this sings, Wayne - the colour, the composition ( the positioning of the boats could not be better ! ), the detail and the reflection of the moon, above all the mood. Most excellent image !!!
