Welcome Dreams, nice silhouette. Only point I might make is straighten the horizon, no biggy but would make the image a little more complete. I would imagine you can do it easily with the software which came with your Canon

Actually Glen, I think the horizon is fairly straight. I tried scrolling the photo down and it lines up ok with the bottom of my screen. Could be an optical illusion from the sloping clouds.

Bye the way, nice photo.

Philip, thanks you just taught me something, never thought of doing that before :wink: My monitor must need a tilt (don't know if you can do that on LCDs), when I scroll down, on the left I still have 1.5mm showing. Sorry my monitor Dreams. PS Forgot to mention, love the colours

Nice Dreams. I'm a fan of silhouettes, and I've taken a few that are similar but in morning light. It remarkable the different in the sunrise to sunset light... I can confirm that the horizon looks level on my LCD too. My only negative I can draw is that the silhouette doesn't look that sharp, but its still affective.

Nice work, look forward to more shots.

Dreams,

Nice sillouette, colour of the sky looks very nice. You should also try the two jetties just a tad further up the coast, Semaphore and Largs, they also offer interesting subjects.

I'll concur with Glen that the horizon is not quite level (1-2deg) on the LCD here. It slopes slightly from left to right. Although I'm in the Northern Hemisphere and who knows what that does to an Aussie laptop :wink:

Still a pleasant image, look forward to seeing some more

/M.

seems straight on my lcd.

the subject seems not that sharp, but as already mentioned still works.

I think a little more room around the person would have been a little better but still nice as is.

welcome to the forums.

Steve

This works well as a sillohette, be tempted to lower the exposure a smidge in PP to avoid the hot spots in the sky, there's no detail you need to keep in the sillohette so might be worth a try to get even more color depth in that wonderful sky... Agree with positioning/framing the person a smidge more into the frame, seems a bit bunched up on the edge...

Nice post :)

Hi guys, thank you for you comment and inputs, appreciate them.
excuse the sharpness, its my lens :) i use 28-200mm :(.

the reason why tight cropping was, the jetty was crouded and i couldnt get the best angle. so this is how the jettycrowd back then
