Where golden sky touch the earth, a photo from Keb, West

Photographer's Note

This the second evening picture from Rabbit Island, and also it is the time I love to take picture the most.
Every thing look like stay alive as wave keep pushing a little boat back and forward.
Even though, Sun always hit every thing on earth hot in the day time, but it still warm us with a beautiful view in the evening.
Please hope that one day we will finish our sad time, and dace all night long like a little boat is dancing happily since evening抯 time begin.

Great title and good note. Good color and good idea also. The one thing I don't like is the composition with the boat directly in the middle. I think if you crop off the right and some of the bottom it may be a little better. Still a good photo though. Nice work.

Hi Tola,
beautiful capture of sunset! i like the mood. Maybe if the golden colour is more saturated it will give more impact to the picture and i agree with John that it will be nicer if the bottom is cropped a little bit..just a thought..i am learning too. good job!

regards..

Hi Tola,
You were lucky to be on the right place at the right time to take an amazing shot. That's why i'm giving you a smile. I have some notes, though. First and most important is the horizon is tilted - probably 0,5 degrees CCW. Second, I agree with happypopeye some cropping would do no harm, especially the edges of the dark clouds of the top and about half an inch of the bottom. Then compositionwise would be much better if the boat's direction was like sailing away from the setting sun, which means POV few yards to the right. And last - a little sharpen would do good.
Good shot though, keep going
Ben

Hi Tola,

Rabbit Island... What shall I say?! ;-)

A wonderful picture in colours! Have to agree, horizontal as well as vertical a symmetry, which does not make the picture more interesting! I'd go for a square version of it! But nice colours over there!!

Greetings, Dennis

PS: Always nice to only talk about what you would change... ;-) I added a workshop. Hope you like it!
