This is really is a superb shot. The comp is clean and simple, but very strong.
The tones are beautiful, with the mixture of warm evening/dawn light on the horizon fading into the deep blue of the sky and water - always a powerful combination. The colours look well saturated without being OTT.
The tree makes a fine point of interest. It was a brave decision to leave this as the sole sharp detail in the frame, but it has worked well and produced a strong graphic image.
Sorry if i have not been able to crit anything, but I would not change a single pixel. Wish I had taken it.

Short and sweet - I like it too!
Hi again Barney!
I'm inclined to agree with what's being said here.
Compositionally, this is excellent. The tree and the horizon are both on their respective thirds and the meet at the intersection of those thirds. Also the horizon's dead level. That should keep all the traditionalists happy!
The colour's good although, for me, it's seems to have a slight red caste to it, a bit like your Sizewell beach shots. It doesn't put me off but I think it's there. I've had a tweak and removed it but of course, that takes away some of the effect of the sunset.
I haven't bothered uploading the mod. as I don't think there's any need to.
It's entirely in the eye of the beholder anyway and certainly doesn't detract from the impact and overall beauty of this shot.
I reckon it's a winner!
Well done.
Bren.

This is great Barney and certainly addresses any comments I made on your previous shot. I agree with Bren's assessment and the light on the tree finishes it off nicely. To be honest I don't see the red colour cast; to me it's just warm light from a sun low in the sky.
Super work, keep them coming.

Bren and Phil, thanks very much for taking the time to review this and comment. I must confess to a certain level of pride after months of feedback and slow improvement.
It's about time I produced something worthy of all the feedback so thanks again!
Cheers,
Barney
