I love it! Great colors and such a simple photo that gives such a sense of relaxation. Great lighting and creativity. Love the story behind this. I'm just wondering about cropping off the top a little. Great impact and very interesting. Good stuff

    Thank you so much for your favorable review and your suggestion. I was wondering about the same, did several cropping's and decided to satay with the original. It looks beautiful cropped, very decorative but it gets a more and more unreal look account to how much I crop it;s starts to look like a fake. I'm maybe wrong, maybe because I've seen it this way in in nature and now dislike to see it any other way. Sorry for m y late reply.

Nice shot of the sunset Cleo!
Composed very well. I like the rays of light coming out from the clouds. Your lighting and exposure are well controlled and I really like the color tones. Good details and visual impact. Good story telling ability. Good technical excellence and technique.

Congrats!

On the contray, I love the centered sun. The sun to me represents God and God will always be my center. Great colors and use of the picture to capture a great emotion. Sometimes thinking out of the box gives out of this world results. Great job.

Just a super capture and a very informative set of notes.
Wish I had a larger monitor for a better view. I can see nothing that should be changed or added to improve this fantastic image. WOW
Sorry I do not have a six left.

This is beautiful Cleo. The symmetry is wonderful. Great color tones, so rich and warm. I tried really hard to see the green flash when I was in Kona, HI it is supposedly one of the best places to see it, but had no luck!

That is a very interesting sunrise phenomenon you have presented. I have read about such reflections, which I believe were expecially common at the north pole! You have a beautiful picture, and you could not have composed it better any other way

    Thank you so much. For all I found out by now, it seams to be related to the green flash. We seam to see down here more light phenomenas because we are relative close to the equator and we are at sea level on some places below. Sorry for being late again.
Comment from Eleanor Perrotta


Cleo, you are perfectly correct on this one to place your sun dead center. i think it has perfect balance. Your colors are vibrant and the rays emitting upward thru the cloud formation enhance the overall symmetry. Beautiful. Eleanor

the color harmony is splendid.
i personally like the centering of this piece. just beautiful
you'd have to to catch the symmetry like you said.
