great combination of elements to create a powerful image Steve.. breautiful tones in the sky and the sillouttes really add some good focal points, the sun comming out from under the 19 wheeler is awesome.. great timing !

Alright I don't know how some of you do the qoute thing to respond so I will use the method I have seen in Flickr.

@FOG I was suprised how well adding the truck into the image worked out. To be honest I had been avoiding the traffic in the background as its a well travelled highway but then thought if I added a large vehicle it might add to the image. Thanks

@leanoashlee Thanks I love taking sunset/sunrise pictures but sometimes its difficult making them interesting/relevant. I thought this kind of worked at least for me.

@Vinam Appreciate specific points made about the photo. I kind of wondered if the truck worked in the image but people seem to think so. The timing was all quite by accident really as we passed by this church earlier in the day I had thought of taking a picture then but figured I would try and catch the sunset. Well turned out it worked out well.

Thanks all for stopping by and taking time to look and comment. Appreciate it!
