    Sunset Explosion


    Took this at a local lake. It was the last shot before I ran out of room on my memory card. I used a Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro, with a 75mm Tamron lens. What do you all think?

    Absolutely gorgeous. Love teh detail in the sky and though the bottom part is dark, I feel it works perfectly so as not to overcomplicate the image. My only suggestion is to crop off some of the black at the bottom.

    Very nice pic! I would say leave a little more on the bottom so as to get a nice black border around the lit up part of the water. I think that would make it pop a little more.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll play around with it some more later.

    Great result, just wondering if this might have workeed better as a landscape?? Just an idea, I think it works well as it is,

    Thanks. It couldn't really have worked as a landscape, because I would have only been able to shoot the water or the sky in the area I was in.
