Was just looking back through some of my photos and happened upon some of my sunsets - so I have a play with them.

There's a great bunch of shot's here, but the number posted is a bit daunting. I notice you've done this a few times and my tired old brain starts to shut down after about the 5th image :cry: Maybe it would be an idea to pick the best of the bunch for display and linking the rest when you have a lot to post.

In any case, here's my thoughts on the shots that stand out for me:
#2 jumps out at me for the subtle gradtion in colours you've captured
#7 - while the colours look very high sat (nature isn't that pretty is it?) I really like the treatment in this one

#5 & #6 are the only ones that don't grab me. I think the dark off centre foreground is too distracting.

Cheers

G'day Nick,
Wow, I feel so much calmer and relaxed now after going through these, thanks... :) Beautiful colours and settings, isn't it an awesome experience to be there to capture a setting like that at the right time.

Nice shots Nick. One of my favorite subjects.

Number 2 is my pick :D Very nice.

Thanks for all the comments.

Stubbsy: Point noted about many images, in future I'll try to put links to a few, especially those that are quite similar. You'll probably not like my Bees thread though :lol:
The colours in 6 & 7 are not that far off what they were in real life. I bumped up the saturation a bit, but not a huge amount.

Number 2 would be my favourite too, and it once again has shown me the power of RAW and post processing. The unfiddled original is a rather boring image.

Nick, outstanding colours, i liked em all, it's a great time of day isn't it, only rivalled by dawn, only then one has to extract one self from slumber with no g'tee it will be a nice one, and i've been dissapointed a few times!!!, at least with sunsets you can more or less tell whats coming if you know the area
