 The usual beach (Red River Beach) and the usual flagrant winter sunset, with a gully grace note this time. I'll probably get abused for overprocessing again, but Penny was with me and she knows that this is actually how it looked, with just a little artistic license.

Happy New Year!

What an incredibly talented gull to match its wingspan with the radiating lines of the sunset! I hope you fed him well for his efforts! I like the dance of pink on the top of the wave.

This is an awesome pic. The top score I gave was a 9 (the only one) and this was it.

What could possibly be more peaceful or serene... The vivid colors and beautiful composition work so well with the tonal range you have evoked. Kudos.

Nicely composed! The gull's alignment with the clouds is wonderful. The magenta highlight in the water seems a tad over the top in color, but generally I like the colors and the detail on the beach and in the water.

I think this photo can do without the border. It's strong by itself.
