Some sunset shots

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

No 1 doesn't do a lot for me - the pink/orange in amongst all that blue/grey just seems a little incongruous. Looks to me like it could use a touch of straightening, as does No 3, to my eye anyway.

No 2 is definitely my favourite; a lovely blend of colour and composition; though it's only a close winner over the stark beauty of No 4. Most of us would have elected to keep the moon in the frame but you've come up with a winner by its omission.

Fantastic stuff!

Thanks for the comments:
I know what your mean Manta... beleive me it looked weird in real life... the sun suddenly poked out as it was setting and hit the ground but not the sky...
I spent a while playing with the WB on the raw and this is as un-wierd as I could get..

Yeah, with the moonshine shot I wanted to get the full shine an the Commonwealth Ave bridge in the frame... and that was impossible witn the moon... plus the moon was blowing out...

This is a classic example of where I needed a grad ND

You've made up for the photo, Scott, with creative use of the Queen's English!

Well done. :lol:

I like the last one best. The shimmery light on the shimmery water really does it for me. Then again, i'm easily pleased. :)
