Jim, this is a lovely sunset on the beach view. I especially like the glowing virga in the upper right and how strongly the girl’s silhouette and reflection attract attention. Your placement of her, the virga and the sun in the frame work well.

This is stunning Jim. Excellent color. The silhouette of the little girl makes this a classic. Print large and hang it.
