Ningaloo Reef, Australia

Every photo I have ever taken of a sunset has left me thinking, "I wish it could have looked as wonderful as it did with my own eyes." Though I wasn't there at the time this one was taken, I'm sure you captured it even better than the passerby would have seen it. The clouds have wonderful depth and texture, and seem real even in 2 dimensions. The timing of the sunset was wonderful too. Sooner and it would have been too bright, and any later you would have missed the moment completely. A big mistake I see in a lot of photography is too much dull space in landscape photographs, such as too much sky or two much darkened foreground. In this picture, the horizon line is in the perfect place for the scenery, I just would have cropped a little bit off of the top and bottom. Other than that, and the fact that typical sunset photography is seen often (which, if you weren't going for original, is perfectly fine), this is a stunning piece.
