The Delaware River runs next to PHL so the opportunity came up to get a nice sunset over the Delaware.  I could not decide which shot to post between my three favorite so I posted all three!!

Enjoy!! Smiley

wonderful colors, beautiful scene.

If I could make a few Suggestions though?
Be sure n' Straighten out the Horizon Line, and align it to a line of Thirds. (Seem to be just Slightly off in both aspects)
As for Subject, My experience with sunsets, is that I cant really follow the 'Subject' part of the "Rule of Thirds"

(Imagine a Tic Tac Toe board on your screen, each Line, is where a Horizon line should be, and each point at which the lines Intersect for placement of a Subject)  Sunsets though, I (Personally) tend to Center anyways... but If you have anything like a Tree (Image 1) or branches (Image 2) etc.. Id try to fit those into the Rule of Thirds.

If you have another Chance at a similar Scene there, Id try to make some slight changes to how they were setup:
(All Three: Where the river and far Bank meet, Lined to the top line of Thirds, and the Sun centered)
Image One: Have the Tree that is in the Upper right, take up more of the right side.. but not past the right Vertical line.
Image Two: Similar, but with the branches in the lower right.
Image Three: just the River, far bank and the Sunset..

Anyways, that is simply what I would do, and merely suggestions/opinions on my part.
either way, they are all beautiful shots. Keep it up.

I vote for IMage 2, precisely because of the branches that give it "life"   

and I agree with the suggestion - with the branches in the lower right, it would make a great photo even better.!

Thanks for sharing!
