I think the fourth one is most interesting. There's no real focal point so your eyes just sort of swim all over it.

Thats one thing I am unsure of on shots like this. These are the first sunset shots I have done with water/lakes in them. No matter how I composed them, they seemed off to me. The last shot is the only one that I didn't feel was composed wrong. lol. But I am not sure how to compose them differently.

I don't mind at all. If you want a larger res, or no border let me know. Won't always offer that, but on all but the last shot here I don't mind it.

Cool shots...ethereal feel to them.

Thanks. That 3rd shot is odd. The very rare time of shooting a sunset with the sun behind you. lol. I think the most interesting part of all these is that shots 2, 3 and 4 were all shots within half an hour of one another, and within 30 yards of each other. The 3rd is looking east, the other 2 looking west lol.

Thanks. I will post up more one of these days. Just gotta pick and choose which ones. Try to keep a thread subject similar (sunsets, or macros) so gotta look through tons of shots to get a topic. lol

The 4th shot is very surreal. It looks tone-mapped. Is it?

Thanks.
The 4th shot just has a small saturation boost to bring the Raw file closer to what it looked like. Hate to admit this, but I have no clue what tone-mapped even is... lol. One thing that does bother me is that when viewed full screen the impact (at least to me) is much greater than on the resize you see here. The fog off the water kinda vanishes on the reize and it loses a lot.
