I like the concept of the photo, and this maybe just the scan, but I would have liked a stronger sunset to really show the two colors of blue and orange. Just a little weak in the orange.

Wonderful photo! I'm sure this scan dosen't due it justice. I like the softness of picture and the shades of blue in it. If you had a stronger sunset I don't think the picture would work.

I like the complement between the blue-green water and the bluish sunset hues. As above, I'm not sure it would work as well with stronger reds and oranges; in that caser it would be more along the lines of any given sunset shot.

I'm torn between liking the velvet smoothness of the ocean that results from the long shutter speed, or whether I'd like to see some detail in the water. Judgment call.
