Comment by Silver Fox:
sign shows up nicely against the blue sky, but it makes my eye travel to the sky and way from the sky all the time. Would it have been possilbe to get higher and show some of the roadway and perhaps less sky?? The yellow pole show up nicely as does the dent in the sign and the black roughage on the sign.

Clear and sharp! I think the sign could be a bit more to the right! Nice colours. jgillard8

IMO the sign is too central, otherwise good shot.

Wow that is one dirty sign. I don't prefer centered shots, but in this case it works. You have placed it almost dead center of this shot and is pleasing to the eyes like that. I like the colors They are really vivid. Your focus was good, the sign is very crisp and so is the background, but it is not distracting. The lighting on the sign is good I guess the only thing that bothers me is how dark the foreground is and the shadowing. All in all great shot.7.

Nice color and clarity. Possibly better with the diagonal of the hill not directly behind the sign.

Maybe would be better less centered, but nice vibrant colours here. 8

I think the composition of this shot would be improved dramatically if the sign were further on the left, so that the arrow was pointing into the frame. Awesome colors and capture of details.

like the way the trees/shrubbery and clouds seem to follow the sign

Sunset on the horizon

I must say that you have captured a beautiful sunset. The gradient from the warm hue of the deep orange to the dark coolness of the sky above, is soft enough to not be harsh on the viewers eyes, but strong enough to make us stand in wonderment of the beauty all around us. You have manage to take the strength of the powerline towers and make them bring strength to the sunset. The wires in parallel with the ground and gradient changes have a natural affect of pulling my eyes to the righ to enjoy the background of trees that dot the horizon.

Your use of a long shutter speed has allowed you to capture the balance of light and dark in the scene. It has also given the camera a chance to get nice sharp edges to the towers. Your horizon is level and post processing work is good. You may want to run it through an unsharp mask to really make your edges super crisp.

This is a good shot making me realize that we are just pawns placed here to enjoy sunsets like this.
