I absolutely love this picture, the look of it, the feel of it. Serenity is what I'd call it.

That is a great shot. I love the way the setting sun put a glow around her.

Love it! The view is just fantastic. I could almost feel the warmth of the sun from the picture.

Nice - the way the sun's rays sparkle. Did you use a filter for that effect? I also like the way your subject seems to be looking at the sunset. Excellent portrait!

it's a nice photo. Kind of makes me want to watch the sun go down. Nice work.
