Thanks Melanie . . . I appreciate the feedback . . . particularly from a skilled photog like yourself. To my eye, though, dropping the shot a tad will make the horizon line even MORE central than it currently is . . . though I agree it's close. Still, I appreciate the feedback!! :)

Another beautiful photo doyle. The reflection of the sun on the sea foam is great. Again great color Doyle.

This is absolutely gorgeous. That bit of orange in the wave reflecting off of the water is really stunning.
My only complaint is that the horizon is just a little too central. I might have brought the frame down a tad to include a little more of the sand and brought the horizon up just a touch.

Morning Doyle...I'd leave a comment but I can't see any images...are you replying to comments via your e-mail or through "critiques to me"??? Can you see images? I know it's not just me, others are having the same problem but, is it EVERYONE? Let me know p-p-please?
Take care...Robin

I appreciate your comment Udit . . . I have a series of shots here for this time . . . before and after sunset. The minute or two before this the distortion of the sun was much more problematic. THIS image has the round disc of the sun before it is lost. Also in my profile will be found several shots before and after this particular moment in time. I think, were you to check, you might find a more appropriate moment of this sunset in the last dozen or so pictures I've uploaded. Some prefer later, some earlier . . . so there's no right or wrong. For this reason I have added many varieties of this one sunset. Thanks for commenting though!

Wow Lisa . . . Thank you very much for this kind comment . . . What you said you love best is what made this shot for me . . . I agree completely . . . it adds something to a shot that would have been good anyway . . . and it was fear of losing the balance between the foreground reflective color and the natural sky which made me decide not to adjust levels for the sky alone . . . it would have unbalanced the relationship. :)

Most of the times I am amazing for your poetry definition! As here the definition makes more attention of your subject.
Apropos you illustration! I adore the reflection of light on the water! The point of view is amazing and the waves look like dancing very joyfully here perhaps together with soul and creative mind!
Best regard and complement: Maxime

Gorgeous sunset!
The horizon line is PERFECT! The natural light of the blue sky is fantastic and I'm so glad you didn't alter it in any way. The setting sun provides the perfect amount of light to illuminate the sky near the horizon.
The waves and the light are beautiful.
The distortion correction is perfect and provides a very wide angle view without the fisheye effect.
What I love best about this image is the foreground with the ocean on the sand and the reflection of light from the sun on the sand.
Stunning! 7+!
Lisa

How much I would love to work with a fish eye lens, it's a cool tool to make some of my dreams come true ;)
Dear Doyle I'm really surprised, what a great shot you have here, with a sun in the background, the only thing I can imagine is using a flash light to achieve this exposure!
very well done to you,
My bests,

Thanks Shirley . . . I was VERY tempted to enhance the sky . . . pulling in the blues and tones and adjusting the light levels to make it more dramatic . . . then . . . I thought why bother? This is as it was. Apparently, in Arizona you can call in an order to get the perfect dramatic clouds (Hi Sam!) . . . but not here . . . so no clouds . . . no deep blue . . . but I still like it!
