Sunset

[Nai no Kami]

It is probably more a Mother Nature work than the photographer's work, but I would like to share this with you.



RAW capture. Basic adjustments made in PS Lightroom.

I like the silhouette of the landscape and think the trees frame it nicely.
don't sell yourself short mother nature creates the subject its the photographer that records it for all to see its beauty. I think its a nice shot but maybe just a bit dark up top.

i like the colors in this picture! but i have to agree with pinball and say its a little dark towards the top, could crop that a little bit? where was this taken?

I did not crop the dark portion above on purpose (nevertheless, I'm really liking the debate made for and against it). This was on the last hours of sun and the sky presented this very broad tonal range. Over our heads it was almost night, whereas near the horizon there was blinding light (there is a small blown out zone behind the trees). I believe that the circumstance of the clouds being really low made this possible. I thought the occurrence of this made such a sunset different of other sunsets I had witnessed.

I love the shot and creates a very nice silhouette with nice colors

Really like the framing done by trees, the top as said by pinball is dark.

You can try to postfix it, by duplicating layer>>> lightening it and then merging the both with a suitable opacity, there might be better methods to do the same thing as well.

All in all a very nice capture

nice shot! the pole is a little distracting but overall nice. i like the color range withing the shot.

Very good. Nice silhouette but I'd have to agree with slacklininrn and say that the pole doesn't belong. But then again it could add that human touch to nature's photograph.

Sweet shot! Nice colors and the frame does well. I vote crop the top but it's your pic. As far as the pole, I think the people getting power from it would say that it does belong. On the other hand it can be cloned out.
