A simple sunset from JB's Fish Camp, just south of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Looking west, we often watch the sun set over the Intracoastal Waterway. On this day, the water was remarkably calm. The glassy surface was only broken by the soft, emergent glides of a handful of dolphins and one, lone manatee. It was truly a beautiful end to a brilliant day.
Thanks for your time and consideration!

Nice colors. I think the composition might be better if you cropped it vertically to emphasize the relationship between the sun, the dock, and the object in the water (is that a dolphin?) As a landscape, the focal points are a little too centralized and leave the edges of the image a little empty.
dont know if its the land that does this but I feel like the crop isn't very straight. Could also use some more light on the front area which is a great lead in line and maybe bump up the saturation... Good image none the less.
Wow, a dolphin? Great catch. The exposure is very tough with the sun right there, for sure. I might have altered the crop to place dolphin at a more focal point.
