One of the most annoying things:
You are on a bus watching a spectacular sunset...
Next time I am just getting off a few stops to early and walking home!!

Here is what I managed to get as the sunset was waning

Unfortuanetly the tower was lit quite brightly so it blew out a bit...

Comments? Critique?

Does it look a little sqewiff?

The shot looks fine to me ......maybe a slightly tighter crop and loose a lot of the trees on the RHS . the lighting in the foreground looks great so make it work for the space it uses, and a little bit of a straighten, a little blue off the top to make the sunset stand out a bit more ........ great color

yes... I cursed the sodium light till I saw they bought up the foreground....

I WANT A 70-200/2.8VR!!

It would have been the perfect lens for that shot.
(Taken with the kit at 70mm)

I have taken the liberity to show cropping but a bit more work with PSCS will give you a lot more..........

Outstanding shot MHD; one wonders how much nicer it would be with the 'right' lens. :wink:

I love the colouration, despite the fact that you think you missed the best of it. (What we don't know won't hurt us :wink: )

Obviously you gave my fellow Queenslander some great material to work with and he's done a fantastic job. Excellent work Big Pix - the first is my favourite; beautifully balanced.

You guys should collaborate more often!

I like your crop (I tend to conserve MP a bit and am a bit scared on the cropping)


Hmm... that is one saturated pic :)

I tend to not crop enough too, but I'm really surprised just how much the shot has changed with the crop of the right hand side...
