maybe a tad tighter on the mantis, and not so centered.

The border is somewhat distracting. It doesn't compliment the image.

Thanks for your comments. This was taken along the southern Rhode Island shoreline. I go there often to study the receding light on the wet rocks. It does look surreal to me at times depending on the amount of colors at sunset. I was lucky with this one to tap the strong evening hues on the rocks.

I welcome feedback, negative or otherwise. The one negative comment on this image wasn't particularly helpful since I did very little post-processing on this image. The original looks almost the same. I generally shy away from over-processing an image and prefer to take lots of pictures to insure the results I'm after. I was hoping to respond, but have to wait until after the challenge to do so.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment.
