Taken about an hour ago. It was a lovely sunset tonight.
Cheers,

Thanks for the comment James.

The photo was taken in aperture priority mode at f/16. There was actually a very slight breeze that prevented a super sharp reflection. I usually take my sunset photos at fairly high f-stops because I like to get as much in focus as I can. A calmer evening would have helped, but you take what you can get! I liked the stringers of clouds that were being lit up by the setting sun. This photo shows the small ripples on the surface a little better. At original resolution (3008x2000) you can see lots of detail and small waves on the water surface.
Happy Shutters,
Tyler

All I can say is, "Beautiful".
