Heavy Red Sunset

[PixelRabbit]

Thought I would share the sunset from the other night
As per usual unsure about the crop on this one, it lends itself to a vertical crop I think... but there is too much black cloud above so went with a wide shot.
C&C always welcome!

Nicely done. A very strong sunset. Colors are tremendous. No way would I have even thought about a vertical crop. If anything, I would even crop out a little more of the upper black clouds. Masked some of it on my monitor, and it just jumps right out at you.

Thanks Joel I had three crops to choose from one taller, this one, and one shorter lol guess I may have chosen the wrong one ( surprising I know )

I'll post the other crop when I'm back on the laptop.

Great shot and I agree with Joel, crop out about (or aboot as you would say ) 1/2 of the black sky and it really pops ! Sunset are one of my favorite things to photograph.

Beautiful indeed ...

Thanks Nod

I love them too but struggle editing them because they often look "unrealistic" to me after lol

Here is the shorter crop:

Very nice.

Your shorter crop is much better IMO.

Wow !! What a difference in your crop. It's a 100% stronger of a composition. Now the red sunset just grabs you and pulls you into the photograph. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks Joel, I'm much happier with the second crop

Very nice! Which part of Ontario are you from? We never get this kind of sunset in Toronto.
