    Dark and tilted. I'm sure it was a sight. Needs more attention to the capture (level camera and bracket exposure).

    It was taken with a Olympus C-3030. I didn't have any time to mess with the manual mode but it was fairly dark and I was just happy to get the image. This is the uncropped and unedited image.

    Re: A Sun Set

    I'm not really too bothered by the darkness here...I like the way the water looks with the sun reflecting off it, and the rock (?) looks like a giant dorsal fin...heh.

    I do agree about the tilting...but you can edit that bit. The colors in the sky are beautiful.

    ChowChi-Ching, I like the adjusted tilt but not the added colors. Whenever I try rotating an image btw I get a lot of jadged edges - how do you do it?

    freygr - The density (darkness) of the shot looks perfect to me btw. It should be a tad dark if it's a sunset. Just my opinion..

    I use Paint Shop Pro.....Free Rotate. I think that this one was done at 2.5? or 3.5 I don't remember. I have photo shop too but I really like Paint Shop. I liked the dark colors too but I just wanted to see it bumped up a bit. I like both.

    The exposure is dead on as far as I am concerned. I like having the foreground and the rock in the water very dark. Overall, I think that the colors are superb. I'll simply correct the tilt as people have said.

    Re: A Sun Set

    I like it dark too!! And the colors are fabulous. THe only thing I'm not sure about is the multiple reflections of the light in the clouds but I think that has more to do with my bad eyesight than anything detracting in the image itself. I think it's why I like it dark as well. Since I am nightblind, it appears a lot like how I see this type of moment.
