Intense and colourful

Sunset over Docklands and Yarra River, Melbourne

Comment from ArtistCharles


The sky is making the entire image glow like it is on fire, making for an interesting image that you want to look at. Your point of focus bothers me. It appears to be on the boats, which is probably the least important aspect in the picture. The fuzziness of the letter (and the way they are lit) and the lack of details in the sky keep drawing my attention away from the shot in a negative way. I like the potential for this sot and the basic composition. It is definitely full of color and fire.

Can,t believe the photo has not been enhanced in this as the colour and contrast is almost to much,in saying that its quite dramatic overall and like the fact the boats are in this,does not come up pin sharp on my computer,but that aside the overall effect its really good different as well...Brian

A good looking entry into the competition posted here! Looks like a grand time and place for a spot of pleasure boating as your fine composition suggests. Those sunset colours and tones are lovely. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

    Thank you! This scene is not far from where we live. There are often boats, canoes late afternoon/dusk practising on this river. I have never observed such an intense display of colours after a sunset.

Perfect title! This is a beautiful sunset with such dramatic colors! Nice silhouettes of the dock structures and three boats in foreground in partial silhouette, this is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is managed well. Colors and tones are beautiful and appear natural. Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

It is always nice to see alternate approaches. The colour really speaks here. . The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!

The colors are very intense in this scene and eye catching. I like the dramatic impact that they create. The boats and the motion in the water are also attractive elements.

A great sunset with beautiful colors reflected on the water. I like this composition with the boaters in the foreground. Of course the colors are fantastic and should serve you well in the contest. Good luck.

Well the colours here are very impressive, with the reflection of that pink sky on the calm water. Love the boats with the people enjoying this beautiful time of day, Interesting place to see this beauty
