But considering the color of the sky and reflection, the light on the hills and especially behind the red roofed building shouldn't be so bright. They look like they are being lit by noon sunlight, not sunset light. The relflection of the sun in the water shouldn't be so defined either. If it is sunset it should be longer as well.

Yes the picture has technical faults in it 'coz there should actually be no reflection in the water. But the both the actual picture and the sky were taken mid day, so I thought they will do the justice. Sun was partially hidden by clouds and with slight change in hue & red filter, I was able to get this feel of sunset time colors. Its just how my imagination worked... am still learning by mistakes :) Thanks

I have sandwiched two pictures together in layers. This picture had a dull sky with blown out areas, so I selected another picture of mine with sun hiding partially under the clouds to replace the sky. Same sky was added in another layer and rotated to create reflection in the water. The red baloon is perhaps lobster trap and I had cloned it out in the available print for this picture. Thanks :)

Thank you :)
This picture was taken at downtown St. John's, a coastal town at the eastern most end of the western world (North America).
