River sunset

This was taken two years ago while spending a week exploring Florida’s St. Johns river with Mike Ramy. As we see with Kris’s Cypress shot, the humidity in a warm region like this helps keep the sun’s brightness under control as it adds colors in the sky.

Superb color in the sky and on the water. The dock and pier add interest and contrast. Well scene…

You handled the sky perfectly, Mark. The contrasting warm and cool tones make for a great combination. The solitary bird is another nice element in the scene. My only suggestion; just my personal opinion; would be to crop the piling and roof off from the left as all the good stuff is on the right 2/3rds of the image. This has a nice tranquil mood to it.

Mark, I could see myself sitting there till the sun complete set, as this is a lovely seen to just sit and enjoy. Very nice.
