I like to think the foreground in my sunset (and sunrise,) pictures are what make a photo frame worthy. I've seen, and admired, many many great sunset pictures. Kinda like saying if you've see one of anything you've seen them all. If I really wanted to know the answer, I would go out and prove to myself whether he is right or wrong. As they say, beauty is it the eye of the beholder. Think diversity.

Whether sunrise or sunset, don't forget to look the opposite direction. View to the northwest with sunrise behind me:
So true Linda. Many times the opposite side is better. The color is in both sides, but the composition makes the photo, the sunset and colors just add a big part to it, as your photo shows. Nice one btw.

No
Does he also consider if you have seen four or five, female portraits, dogs, buildings, rugby match scenes, fish, mountains, racing cars and dare I say it 'flowers' you have seen them all

sunsets and sunrises a common the happen every day, but if you take the time to look and photograph them they are all different in many aspects with regard to color and cloud cover

When you are down to your last few in life, you will wish you would have taken more.

Every sunset/rise is different because the lighting is never exactly the same and the sky(clouds) is never the same.

Depends upon what the foreground is, at least for me. Not to mention exposure and post processing.
But if its taken, looking out over the ocean, then yea he's probably correct.

No, so I wonder how reliable his other photographic advice would be. Not only is each sunset different, but you composition and processing could also be different.
Here is a link to 1.3 billion sunset images.

Sure. Every book I ever read uses the same 26 letters over and over again. And art? Always the same ROY G BIV over and over. Music, 7 notes in a key, or as somebody said about country, 3 chords and the truth.
