I think this photo is glorious. It's like an advert for the new age that is coming upon us. I just wish Sara was in there too. In my opinion, the grain/noise really enhances the image. Most people go for a very smooth effect in processing sunsets. I guess they feel that smooth, tranquil, and hypnotizing the viewer all go together. The impressionist painters did not do smooth though and they were very successful.

a nice sunset, IMO a few things nits, there seems to be some noise and on my monitor the colors don't look right, the sea seems black and white

Almost but not quite a great image. The dimensions are a little offputting and there seems to be quite a bit of noise (especially where the cloud filters into the skyline) still a nice image 6

Note that when you do not use all of the allowable file size- you give up alot in quality. Your pic is 102 kb (150 kb allowable). I would guess that that contributed to your grain. Colors are a bit off or over saturated, but peaceful none the less.

Sorry, this looks like a camera phone took it.

I love sunset photos. This one has a bit of noise in it. It conveys peace to me though.

Shot with high ISO? It looks a little noisy...
02/23/2008 12:06:53 AM

this picture looks a little too grainy for my taste.
02/22/2008 11:29:24 AM
It doesn't really seem in focus.
02/22/2008 11:03:36 AM
I think a little bit more water, and a little bit less sky would have made this picture a TON better.
02/22/2008 08:52:03 AM
Nice colours, seems a little grainy though?
02/21/2008 04:53:11 PM
This is certainly a colorful sunset but it needs something more to add interest and a stronger connection to the peace theme.
02/21/2008 12:04:25 PM
Looks like the colours were oversaturated, therefore introducing a lot of noise and artifacting. Nice colours, but this one just doesn't do it for me. Sorry.

02/21/2008 10:05:52 AM
Too grainy, in my opion. The colors and composition are lovely.

This is a beautiful shot. The sky looks amazing and the timing is perfect.

very grainy, high iso, post processing, or intentional? if intentional it doesn't work for me. I'd have frammed it with a little more water showing too.

Love the colours but the grain lets it down rather.
02/20/2008 08:40:47 AM
Over saturated .....
02/20/2008 06:17:12 AM
