Christmas 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.

Forum rules
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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I just ran out and shot this as the storm passed. Photomerged in PS. NO colour or saturation adjustments!!! It was amazing colours. Just slight levels and contrast adjustments to match up the 3 frames.

Merry Christmas. He's showing off on His birthday :wink:

More or less just a snapshot......not a crafted image which I prefer!!!

Thanks

Joel,

Crafted or not it is a formidable capture of an unrepeatable moment of wonder.

Well done yet again.

Cheers,

G'day Joel,

Wow, mother nature sometimes puts on a stunning show which you've captured well... Beautiful color and texture... The pano orientation adds to the magic of the scene too...

Joel, great shot, love the pano also.

Seems like you've started a tradition for yourself, take sunsets at christmas.

Then one year ( every 10 years) you could have them printed into books.

:D

Katweazl, you really need to start posting more, you've been lurking for too long. So far you've posted some beautiful images, this is one example the best so far IMHO is your feather on the sand, but all you shots have been a pleasure to view, and also to read the following up comments and critiques.

Love the colours in the sky and the clearly defined skyline below, gorgeous stuff.
