 This is a simple shot, but I've always liked it. Adjusted levels a little and just a bit of hue/saturation. Tried not to fuss with it too much.

Beautiful colors in the sky and the reflection, and I love the pattern of the waves on the water.

Pleasing reflections. The centered horizon violates some composition "rules", but I think it works for this particular shot.

The sky looks neat, but the rest of the photo seems a bit too dark.

This has nice color but doesn't really have any subject matter to latch onto as a viewer.

The red glow in the cloud bank makes for an interesting effect, though I think a human or human artifact would have made it more intimate.

Looks like you just missed the sun. The frame it to much and the colors are a little drabby for me.

Simple and effective. Well done.

A very pretty moment - lovely sunset well captured. The red halo on the horizon is inriguing!
