Excellent composition! Really great scenic elements too. One of the better sunset pictures I've ever seen.

Have to give you a thumbs up on composition as well - also really like the colors. It's very dynamic but doesn't look like someone grabbed the "saturation" slider in photoshop and cranked it up to maximum.. lol Great shot.

Love this one.....

Very nice. For me it conveys a feeling of peaceful tranquility. The composition is also very good in this one.

Fantastic image.

That's fantastic. I'm curious, do you have any room in the shadows? I wonder if you brought them up just a hair if it would give some nice detail to the rock formation and the cacti in the background.

Majeed thanks .That’s excellent advice. I need some editing help, LR-4....when I tried to bring up the shadows I lost some of the rich color of the reflections. , How can I get that back. This was shot in RAW. Thanks Gerry

Probably because Lightroom sees most of this image as a shadow. Because the image is mostly in a shadow.

I'd approach it by putting the current version on a layer. Then bring up the shadows a bit and put that on a layer. Mask in some subtle shadow detail, selectively.
