Judges Comment

Well this is a very warm blooded shot ! The colours are amazing thanks to a perfect exposure. The silhouette is sharp and there is fantastic detail in the clouds and on the water. There is something odd about the treetops just right of center, which i find a little distracting from this otherwise lovely sunset. Beautiful photo, well done!

My name is Craig LaBorde and I'm lucky enough to have a 7 acre pond in the back of my house in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This was a very cold January evening a couple years ago when I noticed an intense orange "glow" coming from the backyard. I grabbed my Canon SX-10IS digital camera and walked to the edge of the pond......and I was rewarded with this glorious sunset!
