Wow! Thanks everyone for the kind and constructive comments during voting. A top 5 is quite a thrill! Several of you noted that the horizon was not exactly level. I'm going to have to add this to my list of things to look for before submitting :)

Brad, I posted a couple of comments on the team thread but I just wanted to go public and say kudos and congratulations on the great finish for this wonderful image. It has been a pleasure being a team mate of yours at Sheep Herders and thank you for the help suggestions and advice that you gave. Really good to see that positive karma does exist and that good things happen to good people

Great catch with the outline of the cloud. Love the colors of the sky.

This won't be the only one but, you might want to try straightening the horizon to make the shot a bit more effective.

Beautiful lighting of the cloud and nice soft blending in the sky colors. Horizon feels just a tad tilted?

Beautiful light and color...very dynamic photograph! Maybe a little separation between the boat and far shoreline would be a little better.

I'd rather have the sun and boat placed in the left third of the shot.
 06/24/2007 06:11:26 AM
vivid color, sharp, has that impact a great image should. -9-

Beautiful sunset and the reflection around the cloud. You should be careful with the horizon line, though, to have it leveled.

Amazingly beautiful. The sky is lovely and the colors are stunning. what a wonderful capture. Your silhouette has just enough detail to be interesting rather than just black. Nicely done!

That is just gorgeous. The light on the edge of that cloud, with the variation of colours and the wonderful shapes, and the beautiful boat in almost full silhouette but with just a few details retained... and the blue of that cloud... it's just gorgeous.

Great shot - I really like the thin outline of the cloud - very nice
