i did some more work on it......i have added the foreground and a few trees...a few clouds and a reflection of the mountains.....i really think it is coming out better than i thought it would..i may do more work on it later...i may add some highlights to the trees to separate them from the mountains.....

That's beautiful. The tree finishes it nicely. Here's one I did with Gimp Paint Studio.

Beautiful rdgracer. That water actually looks like it is moving too. Love sunsets myself. Never seem to be in the right place at the right time to take a photo of one. I may have to resort to trying to paint my own.
