Beautiful. Your composition is very compelling. Building? What building? :) the silhouette against the beautiful sunset is so pretty. Love this shot. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you very much! The flat dark area is the roof of an industrial building :)

    Ahhhh...I see. It looks like a land plateau in silhouette. Great job hiding it. :)

Comment from avmurray


It is always difficult to review photos with just a sky and trees, but it is nothing "just" about this sky of course. It is beautiful with the pastel colors in contrast to the golden glow.

I also agree that this could have been an African sunset with the shape of the trees. Trees which are standing out sharp and well defined against all this glory.

The light is out of this world, and the whole scene must just have left you speechless. I like this photo for the wonderful colors and the simplicity, and you have captures this so well Grace.

Very nice photo of a setting sun. The colors bright and wonderful. The trees are nicely silhouetted and are interesting to look at. Nice work.

a lovely sunset captured here, I like the graduation of colour in the sky, the trees stand out well defined with their feathery branches, well framed , great job.

Hi Grace!
Yes,the shape of the tree's spreading branches and the softly pretty coloration of the sky does make it look as though this scene was something from the African savannah,doesn't it?
But it certainly is a wonderfully attractive Sunset Scene,my friend! : )
'Good Show'!

Comment from Life is but a dream.


Grace, those buildings behind the trees provide a nice solid grounding that gives birth to detail of branches in trees.

Serengeti you bet.

The hues are rich and are further highlighted by black silhouettes.

Very nice in landscape orientation as well, the only way to go with this kind of scene.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Dramatic capture of the golden hour despite that sleek hint of a building structure.
If you didn't mention it in your notes, viewers would wonder what is it...?!? Sorry for my FilipinonEnglish...;-))

Superb contrast of the silhouette against the warm skyline.

I guess there's another distraction on the right frame...
But still a nice presentation...
Thanks for sharing.

    Is that distraction my signature? Lol! Maybe the close crop of the tree on that side....I guess I'm not sure what you mean. I will take another look at it. Thank you for your helpful and nice comments!

    I guess there's another building next to it--no, your sig is cute!;-))

Comment from Malmax


This is an incredibly beautiful sunset with all of its warm and diverse colors.
It rather looks like it could be coming from Africa with the gorgeous silhouetted trees. Both have excellent clarity and combined make this a remarkable capture.
Wonderful presentation and a real pleasure to view.

    I thought the trees gave it the Africa feel, only thing missing is a gigantic view of the sun hovering low over the horizon.
    Thank you for your nice comments!

    You're welcome! Yes I agree
Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Grace,
A wonderful & peaceful sunset it's orange & gold sunbeams seen through the trees canopy & around it. The tree adding a sense of mystery & it's branches making beautiful patterns against the sky. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
