evening sunset in the hills

[rylan]

heres a quick shot from my drive into town the other evening. the sky was an amazing orange color, with the sun setting through the hills.

let me know what you think.

The colors are great, green and orange are a nice combo.

Were you shooting from inside the car? You would likely have gotten a great shot by moving in really close on one of the flowers while keeping the sky the subject of the image.

yes MB1 i was inside my car lol maybe ill give your idea a shot this evening while the sun sets!

MB1, in my Road Home thread I set myself the challenge of not getting out of the car
I like this panorama more than a detail shot.

thanks paul!

Very nice moody shot, rylan. The backlit glow of the flowers give a nice glimpse of the foreground area and set off the image well.

thanks Gary! =) it sure is amazing how many chances at beautiful photos you get while just driving into town!

I'm thinking a nice backlit flower, expose for the sunset and add a bit of fill flash for detail in the flower.

Could be nice......

I think the foreground is lacking in detail, though it might be my monitor which I haven't calibrated for a while.
A larger size might show that detail and I hoped for a bigger one in your gallery but it seems to be empty....hint, hint.
