There is a very soft feel to this all. Sunsets are incredibly hard to fudge up in photography but I always love the scenes captured where the orange kisses the waves softly.
I might suggest a different border color, the blue seems to take away from the photo itself. Just my opinion though sir, it is a lovely capture.

Thank you Gina. I agree btw, an orange kiss on water is always nice. (ooops, not sure where my mind drifted off to then..)

When it comes to borders i kinda go with the flow, I don't like to stick to just black borders unless the shot is rich in deep colours. This shot felt cool blue so I kinda went with it and i'm happy with the results. I think it rather complements the image.

Always nice to get constructive comments.

*smiles* Anytime for sure Jay. I understand what you mean about the borders and its certainly the artists' final say. If you like it, thats what matters most. It's a fine image anyhow

Just one tip: Unsharp Mask filter in PS... There are some zones that are very blurred due to rescaling and JPG compression... Unsharp Mask filter help getting sharper images... GREAT SHOT, BTW!!!

Definitely a very peaceful and serene shot. I especially like your frame, since it deviates from the more standard black or white frames. It adds a nice touch.

Thank you for your great comment mufty. I like to sometimes follow the flow of colours in the image into the frame, it works sometimes. (Just updated this shot btw)
