I couldn't have photographed the sunset better! Well done!

Color is outstanding! I feel the vibrant color bursting out of the blue/gray clouds. Just wonderful.

Fantastic colors and good composition. Do you think it might be worth playing around with perspective correction to straighten out the edge of the beach?
09/16/2003 02:06:26 AM
That is a tremendous burst of color coming through those clouds! What a great shot! It's gorgeous....
09/02/2003 12:52:11 PM

Hey, congrats on your ribbon. So there's competition in Nikon 5400 wrld now, is there? We need to get beyond these reds though :-)

Excellent work
08/27/2003 09:47:46 AM
Congratulations. I loved this picture! Almost looks like there is an angel standing in the center of the clouds. Can you see it?
08/27/2003 08:42:03 AM

Yes! it is definately winter here in Australia at present. The beach is deserted as it was about 60F.

Thanks, this is due to the 28mm equivalent wide angle of the Nikon 5400

Great color, contrast, and dimension. Not sure how a tighter crop would have done, but I would have experimented. This is one of my favorites.

Without something to tell me it is cold..I can't tell what season you are trying to show. I think the picture should tell me the season and not just the title. It is a beautiful photo, the composition is great. tthe light is wonderful.

Very dramatic sky. The colour of the clouds is superb. Too bad you lost some of the sharpness of the beach. 8

The place looks so otherworldly when cloudbreaks are like this. Very nice. PS: do look at my duo-toned sunrise pic, I have captured a similar sky phenomenon in the Philippines' Pacific side.
