Boothbay Harbor, Maine sunset

[Jason]

Hi everyone, I'd love to know your opinion of this shot. These are the settings I used.
Shutter: 1/750
Aperture: f/6.7
ISO Speed: 400

Any suggestions or critiques would be appreciated!

I like this picture, i miss wow factor tho.

I love the exposure here. Just enough detail in the darks left but a nice shadowy feel as the light hits. The starburst works nicely too.
Composition wise, if there was room, I would have included more water and the boats reflection and less sky I think. Although the sky has great character I think the boats reflection would have been more of interest here.
I also would have (IF I'd noticed it through the eye piece) moved a little to the left and recomposed again to separate that beautifully backlit flag from the brightly lit building in the background.

Apart from that it's a really nice shot! Crisp!

I really like this as well, one thing that bothers me though is the structure on the left by the flag, my eyes are really drawn to it but I can't make out what it actually is. Thumbs up on the clouds, very dramatic.

Thanks for the tip on the building guys. One of those things that I didn't even notice. That's what's great about this critique thread. I'm going to see what cloning it out might do. Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated.

OK, here's an version without the building

[Mad Aussie]

Well that does remove the distraction

I liked the building though ... just not competing with the flag.
