7 when I opened these last 2 up, there was no doubt in my mind that this landscape crop was the shot, and after going back and forth a few times, I think I like the portrait crop best.

We were on our way home, at about 615 pm, after driving almost all day as we started out at 720 am, on a wild owl chase up north to Bobcaygeon. (750 kms, 3 hrs there, 3 hours back, 90 bucks in fuel.. a headache for Daisy, and not 1 shot)

A quick glance at the sunset, and seeing this redtail in the scene.. I hit the brakes, and backed up in a real hurry, as I knew the sun was seconds away from disappearing. It was just great luck to have the bird in view.

please let me know wish one of the sunsets you like best.

as always, thanks for looking!
 
Great shots as always. I prefer the first sunset shot also, great color and nice capture!
 
Great series raymond, they're real nice. I prefer the composition of the first sunset one, but the second has a nicer yellow tone i think..... i'm rubbish at decision makeing.... but i'll go with the first one, maybe with a touch more brightness/contrast. great shots tho :thumbup:
 
Oh wow these are GREAT.

I really like number 4 and love both sunsets. I can't decide which I like better. Love them both.
 
Great shots Sir Raymond. As for the sunset, I am having a hard time with that one, but Im leaning towards the first one.
If you head to Ottawa....a friend at work was telling me that Cornwall has a crow infestation. There are so many , they dont know what to do with them. Maybe you can catch one in a cemetery
 
Great shots Raymond. Love the fearless threesome :) I prefer the colours of the first sunset but I can't decide which format I prefer. They're both great :)
 
great shots, ray, i think i prefer the first sunset shot also... the colors are a little more vibrant...

love your owl shots too. :thumbup:
