Default Sunsets galore

Hi everyone, I'm taking a break from the Grand kids for awhile. I shot some sunset images a couple weeks back that I want to share. Here's the first 3. I shot the sunset through a nice wrought iron gate. I also used a .6 ND filter for most of these. I hope you like them and thanks as always for looking!

Thank you Nicky, glad you liked that one. What drew your eye to that one in particular? Everyone seems drawn to the first.

Looks you got some practice in on selective focusing....I have done some of this trying to figure out what works and what doesn't in certain situations...what I found and I am sure that you did as well is that something, anything has to be in focus to anchor the shot...it's either the gate, the midrange or the sunset in the rear
