There were a lot of storms passing through the NY NJ area so I headed for the hills for sunset.Taken from scenic view above lake Skannatati in Harriman state park.

Glorious sunset, Gerald. Nice receding lines in the clouds to force the eye into the wonderful color in the distance.

Wow. The colors are quite amazing. I like the motion in the clouds, as well as the contrast in the whole image. My eye goes straight to where it should---the fiery sunset...

Gerald,

Fantastic color and a wonderful sunset. Compositionally, I would consider cropping out at least 3/4 off the bottom and perhaps 10% off the right. The extra dark areas don't add anything to the composition and cropping just simplifies and I think strengthens the image. Quite a sight!
