I think this was definitely one of the best cloudless sunsets I have seen at the lake, so far. Thankfully, I was able to get out to an area I wanted to, and that the wind was not too heavy so the lake was relatively calm. Just a split second before I clicked the shutter my son threw a rock into the lake in front of me, and at first I was a bit disappointed, but after seeing how it came out, I actually like it. I have a nearly identical capture to this one, without the ripples from the rock, but this one has more personality, imo...

What an amazing sunset :omg:

The colors, the reflex on the water, the trees, the angle ... so perfect :worship:

But for me, the most incredible thing on this shot is the mirror colors :blushes:

It's hard to explain when my english sucks a lot .. but i gonna try :D

Imagine the horizon line in the photo .. if you see with atention, the fading made by the colors it's equal in the sky and in the water ...
don't know if you understand what i mean :blushes:

And that waterdrop ... it's capture in the photo or you just added in photoshop ? :|

Anyway ... fantastic shot :nod:

:worship:

It really improves the eye-catching part of the photo ;)
