I took this picture in a cemetery believe it or not, almost at the tip of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. I was looking for some silhouettes during sunset and had to drive a long ways to find this. It was gorgeous, first time I ever see the sun go down like this here in Iceland. I had to hurry before the sun went down behind the clouds.
PP: RAW conversion, exposure, darken, clarity, contrast, curve, HSL/luminance, sharpening, export as JPEG, all done in Lightroom. |

| Given what I've seen of DPC tastes, I'd have expected this over 5.4 but perhaps not to a 6. Statues are "easy" and often not well rewarded. Also, there's a bit of an outline of sorts around the silhouette - hard to tell what from. Some may have seen it as an oversharpening artifact or some other element of processing. And there are little lighter color spots in the sky, perhaps from lens flare/dust reflection - a smooth sky will be scored higher. |
