It really is pretty. But I have to wonder if a different composition or angle would have created an even more compelling image? Maybe a vertical crop? I can't decide actually. I think I like it both ways. :)
the reflections of the sun, and the way you were able to only capture the light rather than all the other colors that would normally be around in a sunset picture. love the shot. an 8 in my book.
A beautiful moon lit night, reflection on sea draws your eye in but too much negative space on both sides of the pic, seems to reduce the impact. Perhaps tighter cropping or different exposure setting.
