    Welcome to the forum.

    Well done. Lovely composition.

    I am a sucker for a good Sunrise/Sunset Landscape. This is a really nicely balanced. The boat gives it that element that is needed as a focus, without it the shot would not work nearly as well.

    Lovely shot.

    you get a bonus point if you were being eaten by midges while taking it.

    great shot - wonderful colours.

    good use of the boat near the centre to draw your eye into the image

    The Coolpix are not SLR's They are a range of Compact Cameras from Nikon. They have a reputation of having quite good lenses for Compacts. The range goes from Point & Shoot models to reasonably high spec models.

    It does go to show that a good eye is your best asset. You can get some great photo's with relatively inexpensive gear.

    BTW What model Coolpix is it you have?

    the nikon is a coolpix s4 6.0 meg,10x zoom,which i bought a couple of yrs ago,it has been since updated,i just set the scene to dusk/dawn,set on tripod,with timer ,and let the camera do the job,i bought it mainly for photographing fish that i catch.it fits into my inside pocket very handy.
