Smile Reflections at sunset

Hello!

I thought I would share this image with you all. It is one I took a few nights ago just before sunset in Malabar, Sydney.

I had previously overlooked this shot as it didn't contain all the trippy pink sky and reflections of my other shots from the same session but going back through my whole batch with a bit of hindsight it stood out for different reasons.

I think the rule of thirds is in this shot somewhere but im not quite sure where exactly!

Now, I seem to be having some issues with my laptop monitor at the moment and depending on what angle I look at my screen from, this shot varies from being ok to too dark. The histogram looks fine so I hope it appears ok for you.

Malabar Sunset 03

This is a fascinating shot on many levels and keeps you looking back and forth and up and down. You know that you have created some art if you can make your audience do that.
