Very nice, in my opinion this is one of the best out of the bunch. I love the rich blues and reds. The subject and composition seems nicely balanced to me. Great. :)

This is certainly very nice. I like the way the sky and the sand sandwich the pier. However, I am trying to figure out what the subject is exactly. I think that maybe because the pier is exactly in the middle of the image. If it were the pier, I might have gotten in a bit closer and either lost some of the sky, or some of the sand and used the rules of thirds.

I like this one alot. I have a thing for piers. :-) I love the sunset, the colors are right on and pretty. The reflection you caught in the wet sand is very nice. Good silhouette of the pier. I like all of the lines and the little people on the top. This one does appear to be leaning a teeny bit to the right...by looks of the lamp posts. This and the wildflowers are my favorites. Good work.

This is really lovely. I agree with a comment below about cloning out or cropping above the marks in the sand at the bottom of the photo. I "cropped" by holding some paper over it and it really made the rest of the photo pop more to me.

The other thing you might want to try for this is some heavy neat image. I like it a log the way it is, but it would be interesting to see the effect of blending things and giving a smoother appearance. That would definitely be personal taste.

I really like the reflection in the wet sand, and the look of the surf beyond and under the pier. It might even be interesting to do a crop of just the reflections in the sand.

Great job!

Cool colours! I love how the reflection shows only part of the sky, and how it is shaped by the waves. Those waves also suggest some movement, wich, along with the birds and persons, gives the picture a soul, it's not a sterile neat landscape, but there's life in it. You might have considered another crop, I don't like the centered horizon. You should choose either two thirds of sky or two thirds of ground. You say it's a zoom version, so that should be possible to do.

Love the reflections here, greazt colours, great silhouettes, possibly the footprints(?) in the foreground could be cloned out, but all in all this is a very good image.

I like the overall composition of the photo. All in all I think it's a great shot. For a sunset, the colors aren't that dramatic. I'd try adjusing the levels and maybe play around with hue/saturation.

I like this one very much. I love the imperfections of the logs, the reflections and the interesting shapes of the logs as well as of the clouds.

Something in the colors does seem a little bit dull though. Maybe it is just my monitor screen but you can try playing just a little bit with the contrast. Maybe it will give the colors the needed boost

the colors look great in this photo and the contrast is catchy. i would think about cropping some of the foreground, but i am a sucker for symmetry and can see how the little foot prints can add character to the overall composition.

I am very partial to sunsets and sunrises but this doesn't really do a whole lot for me, the colors seem dull, maybe a boost in contrast or saturation would help...then again after reading resusit8u's posting I guess it could be my monitor but your other images looked much better.

This image is beautifully done. I love the siloquetting of the pier against the sunset. The colors are well saturated. The reflection of the pier on the sand is awesome.You may want to crop the distal part of the pier that is sloping downward, but that is a matter of personal choice. I really can't find anything negative to say about this picture, it was thoughtfully executed.
