What a peaceful scene, Steve. I think I would try to pull a little blue from the water, but that's a small nit. Love the layers and the colors. Very nice work.

Ah, one of those lovely days at the beach with waves crashing in. I think the colors and patterns in the water are very attractive.

What a riot of colors. Yet it works very well. It looks 'painterly'. The reflective light across that water is really nice and the cool horizontal bands across the primarily warm image provide a nice color balance.

That's some really nice light, Steve. I especially like the texture and color in the water.

Really nice layers and mood to this scene and the bird adds a lot Steve. The comp looks great also. The colors work well together also but maybe a touch blue in the water but no biggie. Very nice.

Beautiful mix Steve. The color looks a bit surreal, but I think it works very well here; artistic.

I've only been down to the gulf three times since I've lived in Texas (20 years), have to go again & get me a sunset now that I'm using a full frame sensor.

Lovely layers of color, beautiful range of attractive golden tones.. Conveys a peacful/serene mood, and the gull is a great element.

Very well done Stevedevil
