This is a near sunset view across a saltwater marsh at Blackwater NWR. This is the view perpendicular and slightly earlier than my previous sunset posts. (5D3, 24-70 f2.8 @ 34mm, f/16, 1/8s, iso 400, tripod)

A serene setting, nicely rendered. I particularly agree with the natural sunset tones.

Beautiful scene, Mark. It reminds me of the Harriman Ranch section of the Henry's Fork. A very pleasing scene.

No 'nits' from me.

Beautiful light Mark and excellent composition. The reflections make this one for me. Very fine work.

The subtle reflections and the quiet light make this one peaceful image, Mark. Love the golden hues combined with the blues. Pretty darn sweet.

I also, really like the colors, Mark, natural and warm.
The comp works nicely as it moves the eye through the photo.
I think the two closest prominent grasses draw my eye, I might tone them down a tad.

This is very nice, Mark. The light and warm tones look great and contrast so nice with the blues. This has a nice inviting feel that I really enjoy. I also like your composition.

Nice image, Mark. I like the color and the soft light. I might be tempted to clone out the reflection of the contrail, though. Looks like a nice place to watch the sunset.

I really enjoy how the grasses on the right grab my attention, and bring into the image wonderfully Mark. The soft light and rich color in the grasses are beautiful.

This is beautifully presented !!!
