All nice, but I think #2 is the best of them.

Great series

My favorite is #2.

I really loved 1 until I scrolled down to 2... then 3. I guess if I had to pick one I would go with 3, but they are all beautiful.

Thanks for your comments Dave, and I'm glad you liked them!

More good stuff, pard. Like you've noted before, there's that brief period when the passage of a single minute makes for a dramatic difference in a sunset. Nicely captured.

Thanks Tom!

It may not be correct, but to me, it seems as though out West, the sunsets last a lot longer with the best light being a substantial time after the sun dips below the horizon

Randy I have a feeling for each one of these. It had me thinking back to my childhood. I don't know what sequence they were taken, but the first one says to me 'I've stayed out to late'. The 2nd one tells me 'I still have time before heading home' and the 3rd one says to me 'Look for the first star of the evening'. Weird how things like that can pop into one's mind

I enjoyed these

Beautiful Randy! My favorite is the second photo but all are wonderful.

Awesome, Randy. #3 for me. I love that deeply saturated blue strip of water in 2 and 3.

Thanks Joel

While I did work these a bit in LR, I didn't pump them up very much. If memory serves, I think in two of them I pulled down the saturation a bit. The EXIF time-stamp will reveal the correct sequence, but man did that sky change a lot!

One of the benefits to taking these images was all the waterfowl cooing and quacking on the water. It was as peaceful a setting as it gets...
