Sunset lighting

[RL355]

The last sunset light. A colour and mono version.
3 and 4 with more tones. Cant decide I think 3 and 4 is best.

They all have a bit too much 'stuff' distracting from the sunset, and making it small & central with a large black block at the bottom sucks the power out of the composition. I can see you're trying to create a frame, but it's crowded, busy & intrusive instead of just being a border edging the main event.

Cropping away about 1/3 of the left and almost all the foreground makes it a bit stronger, though not enough.

After cropping it looks better but still too many distracting bits so I think this one is going in the recycle bin Thanks for the feedback its good to have another viewpoint.
