Your images are more constructed than usual and it serves this piece to a masterful end. <br /><br />I must admit, I have reservations about the right? at the end of each Everything has been said about the sunset, right?, only because, I feel stating everything has already been said about the sunset. with a definitive end, then following it with the magic you've composed what read so strongly...but this is just a small suggestion out of my personal preference of avoiding question marks. All in all, you have done good with this.
