Use a slightly upward angle to capture the vast sky and water surface. Compose the shot using the rule of thirds, placing the horizon at the bottom third to emphasize the layers of clouds and the glow of the sunset. Include the silhouette of trees on the right, the open water, and the distant glow in the frame. The reflection on the water enhances the symmetry, and pay attention to the exposure to preserve the details of the clouds. Additional suggestions: Shoot during the early morning or at dusk to take advantage of the soft light and mist, which adds to the atmosphere and depth of the image.
