over 100 views and no comments on this amazing burst of light that you've managed perfectly, Neil - not an easy task, this, to really express the power of a sunset like this while keeping good twilight detail lower in the shot. The orange glows beautifully, both in the sky and on the water, but it's the fade to blue hour that I really like, with these gulls starting to settle in for the night. Nicely captured.

Wonderful shot with splendid colours. Addition of the branch wit sea gulls and their reflections mskes it even more attractive. Excellent light management. Nice presentation of a beautiful place.
Warm regards

Hi Neil,
beautiful work. I like the color gradient from the golden sky to the grey foreground. Especially the birds on the branch in the foreground are a very strong element of the composition. The amazing colors are well doubled by the reflection.
Excellent work!!!
