A Trip Worth Taken

Sometimes is tricky getting the foreground exposed properly when you've got such a beautiful background you're trying to record. The colors in this sunset are some of the most beautiful I've seen. I would suggest that in photoshop you very carefully select the kayak only and do some level adjustments to it, just to give it a little more highlight so it has contrast against the water.

Thank you for the advise, but I have already done some editing. Unfortunately it didn't turn out the greatest, although I am not the most knowledgeable at the program.

Critiques and comments welcomed. Thanks.

I think the foreground is just fine, thats not the focus of the photo, the great sunset is the focus and the kayak (right spelling?) just gives a sense of place, almost like I am the one sitting there witnessing all that beauty. Great colors, nice reflection, good choice of horizon as well. Well done shot, I like it lots!

that was my main goal of the photo; I didn't want waves being the only aspect to the foreground, so I incorporated my kayak as well to keep the photo from becoming bland. the beautiful sunset and kayak work together to complete this shot.
