Beach Sunset

[JameJame661]

I took this with my Cannon Powershot A1000. The exposure was set to 0, ISO 100 and the white balance was set to daylight. I didnt do much editing except for straightening. Should I Straighten it more? What do you think?

Did you have a tripod with you? What aperture did you shoot this at? The horizon looks pretty straight but I think it's still slightly off. I think the composition in the image is very good, along with the timing of catching the sun going just behind the clouds.

the boat adds to the composition.nice shot

The boat adds a lot but it needs to be darker to make it a silhouette.That + the clouds and the sun set will take this from a good picture to a Great picture.
Hope this Helps.

I love how the dock cuts the picture into 3rd's (almost 3rd's). Overall great shot.

I agree the image needs more contrast, next time I would under expose the image by a stop and see what the results are.

Thanks for the advice and i do think that adding more contrast adds to the shot! by the way I was not using a tripod and i have a point-and-shoot so i cant really adjust the arpeture.
