Subtle Sunset

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Now that is not your average sunset shot.

Realy looks like a painting, did you do much PP work on it?

I like it, a great shot

Rick, no post processing done on this shot. I was trying to photograph the green flash as the sun sets but on this occasion there was not one but the day was not a total loss.

Love the colours in this, and at first glance it really does look like a painting.
(I'm not familar with this green flash you speak off... is it a sun/ocean refraction thing ?)

Thanks for posting the link radar, yes at sunset when the conditions are right, you can see a green flash which last for a brief amount of time. It is normally easier to spot in adelaide after a high has passed. You need very stable conditions for it to be observed. I ahve seen it on a few occasions but alas did not have the camera with me. This time the weather pattern looked ok but it did not eventuate..such is life
