Very nice sunset pic. I would have scored it higher if there was a little more emphasis on 'wildlife'.

Kind of wish the birds were a little more of the main subject but then we would've missed seeing this nice sunset. Very pretty

Very nice shot - I'm sure it will be punished for too much view and too little wildlife - but delightful detail.

This is my kind of shot, though I'd have undoubtedly tried it in B&W. :-) Nice strut on the foreground bird, and love the people just barely there in the distance.

Really a beautiful scene but it's more about the topography and architecture than the birds.
