It is where those trees are at the horizon. ;)

(- critique club -)

This is a good image, but it is slightly too 'normal' to my likings. The sun is centered in the image, which isn't particularly interesting. The reason behind this is the ideas of The Divine Proportions (Read this, and look for the Golden Mean and Euclid) - basically, if something is placed on one of the lines that would be visible if you folded the image in three, the viewer will find the image more pleasing.

Apart from the composition, you might want to reconnsider your sharpness. It looks as though you have focussed on the water close to you - remember to set your camera to infinity - but the trees in the horizon are also out of sync. You might be able to sharpen your picture a bit using Unsharp Mask (read this article if you are not sure what USM is).

On the other hand, I would like to commend you for your vision. The water, the sun, the horizon and - not least - the clouds really work together to make this image worth watching.

Good work, mijn vriend!

Good photo. It might have been more interesting if the sun was a little less centered in the compostion

Awesome colors. I've taken a lot of sunrise pics that have similar colors. Not sure I like how centered everything is. I think a little different framing would make this shot better. A nice shot regardless. - Inspzil

I love these deep orange sunsets. I only wish there was more detail in the distance and less forground because for me the picture is in the clouds.

The colors on this are awesome. having the sun on the vertical middle, and the horizon on the horizontal middle make the picture a little static for me. Did moving it up/down, left or right change it any? The plus to this composition, though, is that it is very soothing and stable.

Very nice. Is you lens softened?
01/15/2003 01:14:30 AM
Very nice colors.

Love the softness of this shot and the warmth. The sun is just smack in the middle of the shot which bothers me. Also, the horizon is too centered.
01/14/2003 06:51:51 PM
Ooooh, pretty and soft. I like it.

You'll probably hear all about the rule of thirds on this image, but at the end of the day (excuse the pun) you take the shot how you like it, yeah I think this works okay. Nice rich colourful shot!

Nice shot, but it shouldn't be posted on another site before the challenge is over!!!
01/13/2003 10:53:54 PM
Ohhhhh - very pretty. I like the colors and the soft focus on the horizon. Nicely done.
01/13/2003 06:54:35 PM
Nicely done, color, focus, light, exposure........yeah good work.
01/13/2003 05:21:22 PM
It appears that the focus is soft and next time try cropping the sun away from the center.

water and sky scape, nice photo just no land, however in landscape format .. so how can i mark it down, well it's split very half and half ... even though it is visually delicious, would have been better in thirds 4
