    Sunset

    Goodmorning from france,

    I spent the week end in St malo and managed to catch a sunset, I wanted to wait longer for the sun to rich the horizon line but the wife lost it so I gave up, somehow this two pics I took satisfied me but I need people advice on what I did right and done wrong.

    many thanks to all

    The bottom photo is too dark, brown and moody for my taste.

    I like the top image somewhat but I bet you could come up with a better crop.

    Have you tried to get wife into photography? You really needed the sun lower in the photos. The images to me don't do the sunset justice (for me that is).

    I like the second one, just bring the horizon to the horizontal. The ring around the sun is great.

    Thanks to all for different comments, I should've waited a bit for the total sunset, and the wife, couldn't even get her into cooking!!!
