Thanks for all of the nice comments on the sunset. There were definitely a few things that I could have changed to make the picture better and I will apply those techniques to future entries.

Very subtle. Good colors and framing.

Very pale, and the rod seems a bit lonely.

My favourite sunset of the challenge

I went fishing this weekend myself... Ice fishing. I was a lot colder than your photo. I didnt catch anything.

Nice colors and framing of shot.

love the delicacy and the soft pastel colours .. :)

Caught a pretty pastel sunset there my friend.

I'm not sure if the sky was actually that pink?? It just doesnt feel right at that shade. Maybe if you had deepened the colors some?

Looks a little too light.

Great capture with really nice colors. I would correct the tilted horizon.

Beautiful soft tones and colors with a decent composition.

Lovely colours, curious as to why you did not straighten the horizon. It's an easy fix.

I am not a fan of sunrise/sunset photos. They have to be really crisp for me. This is a little soft on focus and color for me. I like the composition.
Post actions
bit flat but still nice ;)
Post actions
This is very nice. Great simplicity and colour... But the horizon is crooked.
Post actions
Did you catch the big one? Nice colors and simplicity.

Simple but effective.. love the colors and reflection.

Very nice shot. I like the soft colors. I'm curious what it would look like with the pole a tad darker.
Post actions
Nice view of a fishing rod with this pastel colors.
Post actions
great colours in the sky and reflection on the beach, I like the addition of the fishing rod
Post actions
Now thats were I'd like to be now!
Post actions
such soft pleasing colors
Post actions
paradise for an angler. Lovely soft colors.
Post actions
Without the pole it would be very uninteresting. Just a minor tilt to the horizon.
Post actions
Nice colors. Maybe it's an optical illusion but it feels slightly tilted to the left. (I'm a nut about accidental tilt.) But the rod and reel seem to compensate so it's not bothering me here.

I would have darkened the entire image a little more. 6

Great colors, very nice picture!
Post actions
i feel like the image could be more saturated. maybe a faster shutter speed could have helped to really give it some firm darks and solid colors

I love the simplicity of this shot. Such a sense of peace and isolation. The cloud formation "spreads" the joy, and the reflection on the sand (with the straight strip of foam) adds dimension. The fishing pole really adds a theme and a purpose to make it more than just a pretty sunset.
Post actions
Very nice colors -- a peaceful and serene shot.
Post actions
Interesting pinkish color.
Post actions
nice soft colors and leaving the fishing pole there adds some nice interest to this
Post actions
Looks like my husbands paradise.
Post actions
The coloring is very nice and soft. Good shot.
Post actions
good composition; very nice tonal range in the sky... love what you did here with the reflection of the sky on the sand. Keep up the good work!
Post actions
Nice pinks... With something this minimal, I think you should straighten out that horizon line.
Post actions
Wonderful pastels. Nice use of fishing rod to add interest to an otherwise "normal" photo.
Post actions
A very serene scene--I wish I were there. 6
Post actions
Wish I was fishing now....
Post actions
nice colors and composition, but a little over exposed, loosing detail from the sky
Post actions
Post actions
Man! So close...I really like this. The colors are fantastic and the subject and comp are a good fit. See a tilted horizon is frustrating when it's so easy to fix.
Post actions
Simple and different. Its pretty but lacking some detail I think.
Post actions
bit pale looking - slightly tilted - nice sense of solitude
Post actions
too washed out more color boost would have made this a lot better
