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.

I guess I just need sugar in honey then ;-)

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!
;D

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

Post by: framah on June 30, 2015, 09:17:17 am: 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.
