This scene is so beautiful, it must have been fun to do. I know that perfect light doesn't last for long so you have to be spot on to get it, and you did. #1475821

Thank you, Susan, and yes it was. The soft waves coming in and the clear skies made for a very peaceful evening. It isn't as obvious because of the wide-angle lens, but there were orange beams of light extending up into the sky from the sun over the horizon, which added to the mood. #10236927

Thank you, Art, I really appreciate your comments. I love Lake Superior on nights like this, and am glad some of what I like about it comes through in my images. #10236964

Thank you for the encouraging comments, Usman. That is what I remember from that night and am happy I was able to capture that feeling in this image.

Thank you, Jack. I appreciate the compliments, and this did make my day.

Quite beautiful, Paul. The long exposure creates an almost surreal effect. The colors blending are fantastic. Great capture. #10237722

Thank you, Gary. I have found that a long exposure when there are slight waves will make the water almost translucent, yet still reflect the color in the sky. This one worked out well. #10237759
