Hi Steven!
Just excellent. I like shape of this small island [lighthouse is nice bonus] and orange colours of sky. Perfect frame - perfect sunset. I've got something similiar from Marmara Sea, maybe I'll post it later.

When I saw this one, I didn't even need to look at whose it was - it was so clearly one of your wonderful irish landscapes.
Great composition (as always) and wonderful colours, with a fantastic sky/cloud bank in the Atlantic.

Hi Stephen,
This looks great! You have captured what I call the magic light. Theat very brief 15-20 minutes when the light intensity softens and the colors become amazing. Your composition here is superb. Great camera work.

Lovely mood to this capture Steve..A lonely, isolated one...
Great use of the 400mm to pull this one in.
Very well done.

Hi Stephen,

Beautiful view and well done on the capture.
I'm not sure if this is being picky, I wonder if you could have cropped some more from the bottom to have a panoramic effect which would make the island less centered.?

Stephen, quite awesome! Stunning colours, and the islands make me think it is a fish on the right towing the larger island behind him! I think I would have cropped off more from the lower edge myself, but it is still great, TFS

Stunning silhouette of a lovely island, the lighthouse is a perfect little bonus. Great colors and wonderful POV.

Nicely done. The color of the sunset and texture of the clouds are very nice, as are the details on the ocean. But for me it wouldn't have been nearly as nice without the lighthouse. I think the lighthouse gives it a sense of scale and a focal point for the viewer to study, at least, it does for me. I'll also jump on the crop bandwagon, largely because the gradient from dark to light captures my eye when it shouldn't, so I'd suggest a crop at the bottom of the dark gradient.
Cheers,
Mike

What an artistic shot. It is smart and outstanding. Great quality. It is difficult for me to say in English how I appreciate this master piece.
Bravo my friend and thanks for sharing.

Hey Stephen - Very nice shot - I love the mist of the ocean. It is pretty amaizing that you captured this shot without the use of filters. Very impressive! TFS!
