Hi,
Taking in account some advices given by our fellow members, there is a second try to shot sunset. Unfortunately, Dee Why Lagoon almost completely dried out leaving just a few pools

G'day,
Just viewed your selection and I must say that #2 really grabbed me, it has an interesting foreground that sunset shots sometimes don't have. A lot fo sunset shots seem to disregard the foreground interest and this one has something to take interest... The colour in #4 is great! Cheers. Aka Andrew
Great shots 1 and 4 do it for me. 1 I would play in curves and OR levels to try to get more ouy of the foreground, or make a copy, lighten the foreground and overlay the 2 images, 4 crop the foreground to a pano shape as it is a bit dark to get much out of
hope this helps big pix Cheers ....bp....

Thanks guys!
Big Pix, It's a mix of two images. I've got one with much lighter foreground but it looks too unnatural, so, I've choosen darker one ... Initial intention was to catch sunset reflections in lagoon but imagine how surprised I was when found it almost dry! Anyway, I tried to catch reflections in the pools  Mikhail

BTW, does anyone use cokin system with graduated ND for sunsets/sunrises? What density are you using then? 4? 2?

I have but do not use, have not had the need to use on digital as yet, because there is so much more control with PSCS

I'm more or less familiar with PSCS but I prefer minimal PP when it's possible. Just imagine, you're catching the bird flying across sunset-burning sky. In this case gradual ND would be perfect and image mixing will be pain in the neck if you want to keep this bird. Same applies to bright day and some seagull or pelican flies in the sky Mikhail

My only comment is the bird is GONE while you are fitting filters.......

 It's gone while you're runing to the car after the camera Mikhail
