...or at least until your SD card fills up.  (Which is what happened to
me with that Endicott Sunset shot on the open gallery, I could have kept
shooting for another fifteen or thirty minutes otherwise.)

 This one was from after I went back down, I had to shoot a lot tighter
 so that I wouldn't get the ugly bits of the sky in the frame.

Nice!  Good water reflections, would be tempted to crop a bit on the
left to remove the edge-effect mast.

This weekend was my sister's 30 year high school reunion.  She and a couple 
of friends rented a house down by the yacht harbor for a couple of days.  
Last night, I was down there noticed that it was a nice sunset and walked
across the street so I could get some photos of the yacht harbor without
telephone wires in the frame.  I took a variety of shots, walked back
to the house and noticed that just as I got back to the house, the 
colors were peaking.  I went back down to the harbor, but by the time
I got there, the best of the color had faded.

In the future, when I'm photographing a sunset, I'll try to remember

Larry it ever so slightly tilts to the left. Also it seems you
couldn't decide which part of the scene to prefer - the skies or the
sky reflection in the water - the line separating water and the trees
on the background is pretty much square in the middle of the frame. I
should point out that the piece of dry land in the bottom right corner
seems to be just in place to anchor (no pun) the scene.

Very nice scene, Larry.

Be sure to post the results if you decide to do the HDR thing with them. 
I tried my hand at it when I first got started in photography. Needless

When shooting sunsets any time you quit before it's pitch dark you're
going to miss the best part.

The colors may not get any better if you stay there, but I guarandamntee
they will if you don't.

I learned on cruises that you always wait 15-30 minutes after the sun goes
under the horizon before walking away. Most people would show up for 'that
moment' and miss the real show. Only actual photographers would remain that
long (and there were never many of those people)

Lovely colours and good composition. The land bit in lower RH corner anchors

Thanks.  

And I hope that this discussion will save someone else the grief of realizing
that they missed the best shot of the sunset.  I usually don't get a chance
to start photographing until after the peak, because I'll notice the sunset, 
and it will take me until after the peak until I'm able to start shooting.

 Subject: PESO lesson hopefully learned
 
 This weekend was my sister's 30 year high school reunion.  She and a couple
 of friends rented a house down by the yacht harbor for a couple of days.  
 Last night, I was down there noticed that it was a nice sunset and walked
 across the street so I could get some photos of the yacht harbor without
 telephone wires in the frame.  I took a variety of shots, walked back to the
 house and noticed that just as I got back to the house, the colors were
 peaking.  I went back down to the harbor, but by the time I got there, the
 best of the color had faded.
 
 In the future, when I'm photographing a sunset, I'll try to remember to wait
 until after I see the color fading before I give up and quit shooting.
 
 This one was from after I went back down, I had to shoot a lot tighter so
 that I wouldn't get the ugly bits of the sky in the frame.

 I did bracket my shots, and should probably try HDR on some of them.
