Oh - cool.
Erm ... really hot.
Erm ... well, the sun is kind of blinding if you look at it for too long, so I hope your eye is still ok and in good working order? And it almost looks like it were "alive" and spewing ... I wonder where that effect comes from? Very nice sunset colours.

This was sunrise actually As for my Eye....I don't know, I took three of these one at F/8, F/11 and F/32. the F/32 one was sharper but also had some drastic lens flare

Thanks.

Just saw this pic, I think it's excellent, you can almost feel the heat from the sun

 

[Battou]

did you try to increase the contrast to make the branches darker?

Thanks.

Yes and no....the branches did not need it but the tree line in the BG did, I felt. However every attempt I made at it would turn the whole scene red and was not bringing out the trees as I anticipated so I pushed and pulled some of the colors to darken it a little wile trying to maintain the orange. Then after that I sharpened it a little more than I generally do.

this is nice and makes me wish spring was here already!

 

[Battou]

Thanks, Same here, but then again I was out there in subzero (F) tempratures when I got that, so I think my reasons may be a little different
