This shot was taken in my backyard one night when I was coming home from work. The sky was just begging to be photographed. The look of it reminds me of a song by Phil Collins, called, In The Air Tonight.

Critique Club Critique

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) Well composed. The strong use of diagonal leading lines makes a very powerful composition. The use of the rule of thirds can be seen here as well. Well thought out.

(2) BACKGROUND I love the background that you have used, even if it was just handed to you :-). The is nothing more universally loved than a magnificant sunset. The texture in the clouds is one of the better examples I have seen in this challenge.

(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Exposure seems a little dark to me. I am wondering if you did any bracketing on this shot. With a lttle longer exposure, there might have been just a little more detail in the foreground, and that would have added another level of interest.

(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Good processing. Did you do any experimenting on cropping? I am thinking a little bit tighter crop would have cut out some the dark trees in the foreground and made up for the lack of detail.

(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge.

(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO A very beautiful photograph. I would love to see this with a nice border, maybe matching the color of the pink in the clouds. I am surprised this did not do better, I scored it very high mysewlf.

This was a very pretty sunset, I just love all the color. I think it might have contained a bit too much of the trees, but htat is just my preference.6.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo

This fits really well with the song title. It looks like it's going to rain.

Great sky, Personally I would have cropped out a bit of the foreground, still a really good shot.
