Hi all, this is a sunset in Venice Beach CA

It was amazing, the combination of orange colors, clouds etc

Can you please critic composition?

Thanks Art

I like the intense color and the good use of the horizontal lines.

I wonder about cloning out the odd orange spot of color in the water.

The use of the horizontal lines reminds me of the picture that just sold for 4 million or whatever it was.

Of course I also couldn't help also thinking......"mushroom cloud".

Great colors, but it looks somewhat soft and over-processed. What editing do you do to it?

Nice shot, I always find difficult trying to take the sun, or moon. Here's my attempt at a sunrise for comparison.

EXIF:
ISO 100
200 mm
f5.6
1/250s

amazing picture one can never get enough of a good sunset picture... If I have to critique since this the section... I would say I usually try and get more of the sky if there is no reflection on the sea. you have a good amount of "dead" sea that you could probably even added more drama if you took some more of the sky. see what I mean ?

nice pic, it is just a matter to let the sun goes down lower to reduce white color
