It's a good image, albeit a bit "exaggerated" for my taste.

I agree with Paulo, colors are too garish, it's like putting sugar in honey.

I like "Bold and Bright" colors but this is a bit too much even for me. The image itself is nice.  :)

It has some nice elements.

I'll leave the others to comment on the colour and go in the opposite direction to B&W.

This was bit of a test. It´s actually quite funny because many people i talked to that dosen't know anything about photography think it's absolutely amazing.
Regarding the colors. They are punched up a bit but actually the sunset had quite amazing colors and maybe the long exposure helped a bit.

And last I actually think the colors are somewhat OK since the use of ND filter also makes it a bit more like a painting.

Do whatever pleases you, it's your photos and my opinion is just mine (and I may be dead wrong…)…

You may want to maple syrup into the sugar/honey mix!

putting the above mentioned color aside - I think the composition is great.

I agree that the composition is fine, but my bleeding eyes can't ignore the colour!

I showed it to an old friend of mine who has cataracts and he shielded his eyes and screamed that the colors were too strong!!  ;D ;D


Sorry... I HAD to do it! :D

I DO agree the composition is really nice.
