Default Yet another sunset . .
I am fairly new in the "digital photography" business. Shooting mostly for my pleasure, but I am also trying to learn, read and apply what the "pro's" are teaching and preaching! Thank you so much for all your help with a site like this. Much appreciated!

Karen,

I can't believe that you are fairly new to digital business. I love silhouettes, specially with the sunset background. Beautifully done!

Hello Karen and welcome to DPS. No such thing as just another sunset, I certainly don't tire of seeing them and I've seen loads, but never two the same, so thank you for posting your wonderful pictures and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work

Heh, I've seen about 18,000 sunsets. Of the ones I remember, beachcomber is right -- no two have looked alike.

You've got a fine eye for color. I might have moved the horizon up or down and straightened it out, but the compositions are attractive and balanced. I'd say you're learning your lessons well!

Welcome to DPS Karen.

You have done a superb job at capturing two of my favourite things to view, sunsets and silhouettes. I look forward to seeing more from you. TFS these great shots.
