    I like the swirling motion in the sky. It gives the impression the sky is engulfed in flames of fire. Good job!
    Any constructive criticism on my photos would gladly be appreciated.

    Appears a little soft and a little over exposed in the sky. Like the composition though.

    My number one rule for sunsets is "If there were no color in the sky, would this still be a beautiful landscape photo?" The sunset in this image is INCREDIBLE. Is the composition good enough to merit a photo even if there were no incredible color? One thing that might help a little is to lower your perspective. Getting down lower to the water would really improve this photo, IMO.

    Also, getting lower to the water improves the reflection in the water. The closer you are to the plane of the water, the more clear the reflection.

    Even squatting down or even laying down on the bridge would really help.

    try using higher f stop next time. Perhaps f11. It is a little soft, like other people said. Nontheless, great color in the image.

    I can't really add to much of what has already been said, however, if I were taking this photo I probably would have moved the horizon down to the bottom "third line". This image is all about the beautiful colours in the sky which is what made you stop and take the shot. Let's see more sky!

    I liked the picture tho I think its quite a bit oversaturated and not very sharp, it bugs my eyes trying to focus it
