I love the colors you caught in the clouds. It is the couple holding hands that finish off this picture.

It's lovely. The colors are great and the couple is perfect.

Lovely! I can see that as a poster on someone's bedroom wall!

This is a nice capture Rick. As the others mentioned, the couple holding hands adds a nice perspective to the image.

i like the colors of the sky too.. maybe u try and crop off the top a bit.. to reduce the light portion of the sky a lil bit.. i feel it takes away from the vibrant colors around the sun and the couple.

i really like everything about the photo. lovely composition. i do think harsh's idea of cropping the topmost portion may be a good idea.

Yeah, I think that the picture is composed in three parts, Top part wih too much light.. mid with dramatic clouds and the third the beach and the couple.. I would chop the top part by half atleast.. to focus the Couple in the picture

I agree with others that the lighter sky at the top pulls my eyes away from the couple and the sunset colors. Really good composition with the couple walking... one of the photographs I wished I would have taken...
