Bantry Bay sunset

This taken yesterday evening near Bantry Bay (Co Cork).
C & C welcome.
Tom.
Beautiful colours in the sky but i cant make up my mind about the foreground.

Lovely sunset. Only thing i can suggest is that maybe if the shot was panned down a small bit to show more foreground. Also the use of a graduated filter might have brought out more detail in the foreground. Great shot though well done

Thanks to all for the comments and those who took the time to look, too.

That’s one stunning sky Tom, and you did well to capture so much
intense colour. As has already been mentioned, a little more foreground
would improve it – it’s quite close to leaving the frame altogether right
in the centre. Aside from that it’s a cracking sunset…Rob.
It’s a lovely shot of a sunset Tom. Lovely sky, silhouetted foreground, it has all the makings of one that stands out.
I’ve only taken 1 sunset – not through choice but just a lack of time during sunset times but it did very well for me. But, I have seen many on this, and other forums. What strikes me is the similarity after seeing so many. There isn’t much you can do with a sunset – it’s unpredictable but what you can do is make it standout from the others. This shot has potential. Have a look for future sunsets in this area and take on board what has been said above. My own “like” would have been to take just the very tip of the sun as it disappeared over the horizon to provide a very definate focal point. The foreground in this image does provide a positive depth within the image and I think it’s fine and well balanced across the image.

Those responses are very helpful and much appreciated.
Thanks to all.Tom.
