Just couldn't let go of the upper foreground....and I'm not a pano look kinda guy most of the time.

Ah, I didn't notice that the highest clouds were close. Must have been an optical illusion

Thanks, Frank!

shooting across water at setting sun, and having a city there to boot. What a playground! I am thinking in terms of longer lens on solid tripod or bean bag and perhaps even long exposures. Buildings, clouds, evening sun, water - the combinations don't get better than that. Nice job with color and rays in this one.

Don't have any of the above Piet but thank you for taking time to give me some suggestions.

Sand bag, or towel might work on the beach. Just saying lower light, long exposures might be interesting depending on subject. Don't need a tripod. Remote shutter might help. Is just very cool to be able to get across the water sunset shots with building involved. That is a super cool subject. What lens did you use to get the guy surfing with the chute? That didn't look like a wide angle shot...

Maybe next time........18-300 pretty much lives on the camera for now.

The clouds contribute an incredible sense of depth within the image and are, thereby, the strongest contributors of depth cues crucial to its amazing impact!

Wonderful scene!
