ooooh, other worldly!

Nice shot, maybe just a bit of a crop off the top down to the white break in the clouds?

Phil, I think it's a great shot!
Borderfox is mad for the cropping!

It could do without the white at the top though.
Should make a really nice print.

Thanks for that, and the cropping suggestion ..

I'm going to mount it for the club competition on Tuesday night, so I'll use the mount to hide the offending strip, that way, if I need I can compare the difference,

much appreciated,

Phil

The top part of the clouds is not needed only the small amount around where the sunset it, there is more than enough interest in the foreground and I think it will balance the picture better..

Deadly shot, well done

Fireman · 19-10-2008 1:33pm

It's a fantastic pic, Well captured I would agree with the cropping as there is enough detail from the clouds down

kjt · 19-10-2008 2:04pm

Lovely shot!
I'd agree with Keith and crop some of the top off

alb · 19-10-2008 11:07pm

great shot! A few people have suggested cropping it, but I think the composition is fine. I would perhaps dodge some parts and/or up the contrast a bit though.

very nice philip - it would be beautiful on canvas.

Thanks all for the advice and comments ...

I must say, this site is second to none when it comes to help and advice ...

I'm entering this shot in our club competition, I'll let ye all know what the judge says:)
