Sweet light. The sky is great and the center of this image. I might be tempted to crop some off the bottom to put even more emphasis on the sky. The bottom is dark and a little distracting to me.

Maybe I need a new monitor but to me it looks like the sky is greenish. I do like the rays you captured.

I like the overall scene Rick especially the rays but the color seems quite a bit off on my monitor too!

BTW - Due to the presence of the bridge I need to move this to M&N since the bridge is the hand of man. Hope you understand.

Spectacular sunset. Love those crepuscular rays, the sun glow, and the silhouette of the bridge. The colors do seem oversaturated with the greenish sky and almost purple water, but I wasn't there.
