I really like the colors, the silhouettes of the trees and that there is some added interest in the water with the rocks and moss, however, I wish it was cropped just to the right of the large, dark object on the left.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1113 images, I gave 93 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 93, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

Lots of sunset pics in this challenge, but this is one of my favourites. Very simplistic colour palette which just serves to make teh sky and water harmonise and speak to each other. It does feel as though it has a slight tilt to the horizon though.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

I wonder about cropping some of the left side, the large dark mass draws my eye more than the center, jmo
