Big Island sunset

Just another sunset photo, but I'm still learning the 'how-to' so I'm

interested in critiques of technical side. Composition, too, though!

Eric, I can't help you with the technical side, as I am only an amateur. Sunsets are always a gamble, because you never know what cloud formations will either enhance or ruin your shot. This is a lovely photo, in my opinion, and the colours are divine. The sun seems to distort the tree that it's behind, and not in a nice way. Maybe if you'd repositioned your camera so that the sun was between two of the trees it might have had a better effect.
