This shot was taken about 100 meters from where I live in Fenerbahce Istanbul. These sunsets are common at this time of the year here and really quite stunning. Some playing in Adobe Elements.

I really like this shot. I think the vertical "motion" of the boats is a nice touch, though I guess it could appear very busy. Also, the orange in the sky and the green in the water sets up a nice contrast!
Very neat composition and I like the way you've captured the green water in the foreground and the orange sunset in the background. I do think that the exposure is a bit too dark and would have preferred a more saturated sunset, but shooting into the sun is difficult.
Very nice. Love the subject. Love the green water, the orange sky and the pink reflected in the boat glass. Wish the detail of the boats were a little sharper. 8
Ist it the color of this pic come from shooting or after editing? BUT i love the GREENISH water more than others, if you could ever focus on water, it could be even nicer anyway, I gave a 7 GOOOD JOB, glad to view !!
i like the glassy green water in contrast with the faint orange background... when u subdued and toned down the middleground (boats & buildings) by using a cool color, the focus was shifted to the green water and orange sky.... kind of tricky to read this work but definitely met the challenge .... congrats....
