Flame in the sky - yet another sunset!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

What a great sunset last night. I stopped off at Queenscliff Lagoon just as after the sun set. I thought that it may be a good snap but was not overly impressed. I took a few shots and walked back to my car and then turned around. This is what I saw

No PP saturation. Shot in RAW and underexposed by two stops.

Cheers

Great photo Sheila.

Yesterday provided the most spectacular sunrise and sunset I've seen in a long time. Absolutely spectacular. And I was driving to/from work both times with nowhere decent I could think of to capture the event and do it justice. I was wondering at the time whether anybody else was able to get some fantastic shots. Great to see that you've done just that.

Thanks for the image Sheila. My wife's family live in Queenscliff Rd above the lagoon so that picture really hit home. I will have to show it to her.

Beautiful shot Sheila - not sure if it's my monitor or not (not calibrated), but on mine appears a tad oversaturated?
Still a stunner though
