Description
Four elements to the existence of life on our planet
The cold and wet water
The hot and dry sun
The air that surrounds us all
The earth that absorbers it all
The fifth element is the one that unbalance this equation.
The fifth element is us, the righteous humans
In the center of everything, playing god with this planet
Changing nature to fit our way of living
The sun is hotter and the water is rising
The air is polluted and the earth is dying
But we are god and we are right
We rather be blind then give up a fight
And this is why we go to wars
Coexisting seems to be the hardest thing
When we all are the most important
And everything else must change
The same way we put ourselves above others
We put ourselves above this planet, above life
The elements of life are what brought us all here
But the fifth element may take it all away. Us
****
A point to think about. Maybe to acknowledge our role in these elements. Maybe to simply learn how to enjoy this nature in a more passive way, rather than manipulate it.
I would like my children, and my children's children to be able to still take photos like that.

Although it's obviously impossible for me to say that this photo isn't beautiful and captivating on it's own, when I see it as a part of your gallery, it looses it's unique appeal - a great deal of your photography follows these color schemes, these layouts.... and while the "water+reflections+setting sun+shawods" combination might amaze me one, two times, after a certain limit, it begins to simply feel cheap.
I hope you don't take offence from this critique, and instead try to see my point of view.

I still vary my work, and I don't think you can say I repeat myself more than other photographers do.
It's true I shoot sunsets, and I have a few of these, but you are missing the whole concept thing, like the landscape is all that there is here.
Anyway, I thank you for the honest opinion. I feel I do vary enough, but it's ok if you don't agree.

Awesome shot! Would have been even better if the persons were sharp aswell. But that's hard if you just want silhouettes of the them. Anyway, great shot!

But anyways, beautiful picture.
