Which sunset?

Today's sunset. Which do you prefer?

1.


2.


3.

2. The clouds look a lot better lighter. They look softer which helps the image.

same comment as shipman, although i like the reflections in the third, i'd personally merge the best qualities of all three. but that's just me and my photoshop mind saying that

i'm struggling with noise. 2 and 3 were shot at 100 ISO and I'm still getting a lot of noise.

I personally like the last one. I think the cloud reflection on the water looks a lot nicer when its not so sharp. JMO

I'm feeling the second one. It shows the color of the rocks and they're not just black shadows

Where is this ?? Spectacular I like what shipman says, topaz denoise is a great plug in

2 and 3 are 20sec exposures whereas 1 is 8 second. That's why 2 and 3 look softer. They were shot RAW and processed in Lightroom.

The location is Malta. A small island in the central Mediterranean.

I went back to reshoot this . There were no clouds to reflect in the water the second time round. Instead I chose to go for a short exposure and capture more of the sunset. Looking forward to your comments!

Wow, much better the second time!
