I like the POV on this. Bit of a brain teaser at first glance. :) One thing about this photo that feels awkward is the lighting. It doesn't seem balanced enough...fill flash bounced off the ceiling or sidewalls available? That might have gave this another dimension. Just a thought. Anyway, good luck in the challenge.

Good composition and 'framing'!

This photo is one that I really like. It doesn't look staged or like a simple snapshot. Excellent angle.

Nice shot. I think I would have cropped closer on the left to have only the stair as the frame. Good luck anyway.

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
When the sun is in the shot, even behind the clouds, it is so bright that it "burns out" a portion of the sky in photos. Sunrises and sunsets usually are best about 10 to 15 minutes before sunrise, or after sunset. To shoot in the lower light, you will have to keep your camera from shaking by using a tripod, or something solid to brace it against for the shots. If the sky appears washed out in the LCD, then reduce exposure (EV) and shoot again. A very simple subject seems to work best for silhouettes in sky shots too. The power lines are interesting, but people like a single subject to focus on in most photos.
Keep shooting and keep looking at the photos online here, and reading the comments on ones you like, and you will learn a lot about how to get what you want when you are shooting. You live in a beautiful place. Show us some of the nice scenery sometime. : )
