 Went fishing with my brother at Sacandaga Lake in Upstate NY. Since he was the only one catching fish i decided to pull out the camera and take shots of the sunset... the best of the summer...... as I was putting camera away i looked up and thought this would be a nice shot so i snapped a few.

Nice silhouette, I do think though that the horizon should be straightened. just a personal preference. When I see horizons with slight tilts, not dramatic ones, I tend to think its just an oversight.

You've shot this nicely to capture the sun's tones.
