Extra Info:
I missed the actual sunset by about 2 minutes and this particular evening the sky was not at it's best colourwise. I would have liked richer colours, but the only evening this week that occurred, I was stuck at work.

Thanks everyone for your votes and comments. I'm thrilled with 6th place in a field of such great photos. Missing the sunset was obviously lucky for me on this occasion!

I don't know how about the richer colours you wished to have, but this is really beautiful! Maybe richer colours would not give the same mood. I like also the composition,
In my TT!

Of course I love this one - who wouldn´t?! I actually think missed-sunsets can be as elaborate as the real thing but beautifully understated.

I like the colors. Might be a bit subdued, but I think that works here. It certainly give the shot atmosphere.

Only a couple of things I can suggest. Color and comp are great. But I'd clone out a few of the specs in the water. Looks like something (seaweed?) floating on the water. That kinda causes my eye to snag on the otherwise smooth water. Also, I might get rid of the towers in the far background on the left. They don't add anything but do serve as something to draw my eye away from the subject.

In my faves, for sure.

I get a strong sense of tranquility. That is a very nice mood in my book. TT

Now this really is tranquility at it's best. Beautiful colour in sky and sea and great composition. In my top ten.
