Sunset with foreground

[Jarrod268]

Yea, after some comments on the last photos I posted griping about dull or lack of foreground you people forced me back out to try to get more foreground in my shots.

I had some focusing problems with my tokina 12-24, so these are slightly out

My own critique...
Lens flare - not great in these shots. I know wide angles are bad then I slapped a filter in front of it.

My positioning of the filter transition line needs to get better. I'm working on it.

I need to work more diligently to overcome a focusing problem and switch to live view/zoom in for manual focus.

Really liking that second one.

They're a real improvement over the previous few. Shooting into the sun is going to turn anything standing proud of the horizon into a dark shape. What filter are you using for these?

Singh-Ray Daryl Benson 3 stop reverse graduated ND is the filter I used.
