Sunset over Bluff Point State Park

[D-B-J]

Biked out to the end, waded through some water, and posted up on some glacial erratics for the sunset.

Edited the first photo to reflect a slightly less extreme "eggplant" color. Below is an unfiltered (but edited using the same LR slider values as the first two photo's, I just copied and pasted the settings), and a cropped version.

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN... I think we have a winner.

I really like number 2!

Glad you like it! Yeah, I had wished there were more clouds higher in the sky, but it was still a beautiful sunset. Not as awe-inspiring as I'd like, but nice

What is the matter with the sky ? Weird colour. But I like the smoothness of #2, just wish you've got more of some rocks and less of the empty horizon.

I'm not liking that strong vignette, the scene is nice

Yeah. I had used one 2 stop reverse GND, and I wish I had another. I has to use a 3 stop GND instead, and it vignettes a bit more than I wanted. I don't mind it though.

I'm a fan of longer exposures when taking landscapes, especially with water in it. I love the silk glass look it gives.

I like how you positioned the big rock at the bottom, almost like an anchor holding the photo down.

I also like how smooth the gradient is on both the sky and water. It flows extremely well and I don't mind the vignetting, I prefer vig on my photos.

Sweet. Thanks for the explanation. I feel it's good to know which parts of a photo others like. I try and keep all those things in mind when photographing, so not only I, but others, can enjoy my images. I definitely intended to use that large rock as the anchor. This sunset didn't fill the sky like I had hoped, but it was beautiful none the less.

A colour like nothing the sky can produce. Even after volcano eruption. . It's rather an egg plant colour.

The original color was a bit lame, so I took out my artistic license and altered it. [emoji5]️
