This is from the east shore looking west at sunset - it was a wonderful sky!  For comparison, – in yesterday’s post, I was on the west shore looking east at sunset, one night earlier.

That’s a great shot Ron.
I like the cropping on this one, I always tend to include the whole reflection of an object (the tree for example).

Thanks Kris!

Interesting you commented on the composition. I toyed with the idea of including the whole tree in the reflection, but by doing so, I was including a bunch of floaters in the water near the edge of shore, and it then also included more of the bright, uninteresting area of sky in the reflection.

I wished I had a telephoto with me so that I could have isolated the tree, but with the thick salty mud, I had no where to set my camera bag down and change lenses, so I went with this composition.

Thanks Beth!
