This is lovely, with a smoky flavor to it! It feels like a hot day is yielding to a warm, humid night. (Excellent color grading, whether by you or by nature.) The lighting brings out the shapes of the trees very nicely, and the line of water moves toward the back with a pleasing path that is contained well at the right edge. It’s difficult to tell at this small size, but I wonder if the reeds on the right are a bit over sharpened? They are a nice shape but I don’t want to linger on them. This is a lovely first post – welcome to NPN!! I look forward to seeing more of your work! ---

This is a really nice serene scene Ian. Wonderful first post. Welcome to NPN. I love the color scheme, the sun rays and the leading lines in this image. ---

Ian, this is a fine, peaceful view, with the waterway extending to the right doing a good job of inviting me to go exploring. I also like the visual balance between the waterway and the crepuscular rays from the setting sun. You timed this very well. ---

So pretty and calm! I can’t add anything to what the others have already said.
