Lovely sunset shot here. Such rich, warm tones in that sky. Perfect timeing, awesome burst of color in the sky, but nice light to showcase the birds and ships, which obviously add a lot to the image. I really like how you've captured the 2 birds in the sky. Really nice composition, with the exception of 2 minor yet easily fixed things IMO. Might want to try cropping out the 2 little bits of bird that are cut off on the right edge. Not only are they, well, cut off, but I'm thinking it might add even more emphasis on the 2 main flying birds. Also, your horizon (where the ships are) is just a wee bit tilted. It is just slight, but a lot of people have real pet peeves about tilted horizons, even if just slightly :-) Depending on what editing software you are using, a good fix of horizons is the 'arbitrary rotation' command (that is what it is called in at least Photoshop) You can use the ruler tool, draw a line along your horizon (or building, or anything you want to have straight in an image) then arbitrary rotation, and it will turn the image to make that the straight line. Of course, do this before any cropping, because you will need the crop to get rid of the empty edges. But overall yes, a very good eye, good timing, and a very nice shot :-) |
